There are novels that awaken a wound we thought had healed, bringing it back into the world. Paula Piby's Brazilian novel, "The Advantages of My Father's Death," is one of those texts that takes the reader by the hand and leads them into dark areas that literature usually dares not approach. It's not an ordinary crime novel, but rather an investigation into who gives themselves the right to kill, for every killer has their motives that convince them of their act. It will remind you of "The Good Son" but you won't feel the plot twist; you'll transition to it very smoothly as if it were a normal matter!! The father's death is the beginning of a painful unveiling of the scars that remained in the heroine's soul throughout her life, to the point of disfiguring her. Through a deeply honest narrative voice, Piby presents a work that approaches the reader with its audacity and human depth despite its fast pace.
