Ischia, the first-person female narrator, is the youngest in a family of seven brothers and relates her experiences as she waits for a ride to the Argentine international airport. Told through the dizzying would-have-could-have of conditionals, \u003ci\u003eIschia\u003c\/i\u003e overlaps the past, present, and future of three young characters defined by lack of certainty or expectations. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese three lives unfold between disenchantment and humor, and the narration transports the readers into a universe of memories, desires, and dreams. The novel advances lyrically through themes both solemn and lighthearted, shaping the contours of imaginaries, hilarious, and sometimes even surreal experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Deep Vellum Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646052141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252","brand":"Gisela Heffes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42506201890997,"sku":"9781646052141","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e796b419-52f7-4c2c-b049-14bdd5bb76b2.jpg?v=1668526627","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/ischia-9781646052141","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
