The Fallen
Author's name: Carlos Manuel Albares
“A distinctive and poignant work of literature… Cuban author Carlos Manuel Albares’s disturbing and stunning novel unravels with exquisite precision the story of a family in crisis, a family imploding from within.” – The Times Literary Supplement
“This novel is a masterpiece.” – El Pais
“From the first pages, one realizes that one is in the presence of pure literature. We know, at the beginning of the book, that Mother has not fallen, but she will, because it is announced, and when it happens, we will all have fallen with her.” – Gattopardo
“A novel to be enjoyed slowly.” – Un libro al dia
This is the story of a family: There is a son who doesn't believe in revolution. There is a father who clings to a fading dream, quoting Che Guevara whenever he can. There is a mother who falls ill and sees life slipping through her hands. There is a daughter who does everything to make ends meet, even if it means surrendering to illusion and deception.
The Fallen is a brilliant portrayal of a society in free fall due to broken promises. It offers a fresh, unfamiliar look at contemporary Cuba with all its contradictions, written by one of its most important writers, Carlos Manuel Albares, and beautifully translated by Ahmed Mohsen.
