ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In her first non-fiction work, Laia Jufresa, one of the best Mexican writers, portrays through her peculiar wit and humor the small things that concern, obsess, distress, and nevertheless push us to keep living and rewriting this rarefied present.
"A pandemic book? Yes and no. A book--with the pandemic as background--about the way we narrate ourselves: language and screens, writing and motherhood, the new new lives. Full of humor and wonder; so beautiful." --Elena Medel How many people fit in an apartment when its three residents are confined? How many languages if one of them is just learning to speak? How many characters if one of them is a novelist? Twenty, Twenty-one chronicles five seasons in the life of a small bilingual family adapting to a "normal newlifelihood," and depicts the peculiar language they create together, locked down: a language destined to disappear. Over and over again, this book reminds us that, when you look at it properly, the mundane is indeed extraordinary.
