ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONBY THE WINNER OF THE ALFAGUARA NOVEL PRIZE AND THE NATIONAL CRITICS AWARD. After Umbilical, one of the books of the year according to El Cultural, Neuman goes further, with "one of the greatest tributes to paternity" (Babelia.) A father's emotions when his son first speaks propel this book full of findings. Its pages explore the enigma of essential learnings we will never remember: how we first started to walk, talk, form our identity, and organize our memories. By building a bright lyrical tale, Neuman's voice pays tribute to early childhood and language itself, fruit of a rare balance between falling in love and reflection. Little Speaker belongs to an uncommon romance literary genre: that of a father in awe, writing for his son. In a way deepening the path opened by Umbilical, Neuman recreates with delicate humor the vertigo of time, inter-generational bonding, or intimate conflicts, conversing with the current transformations in family roles and our everyday sensibility.
