#7 — A book.

I will talk about Aeropuertos, a novel of Alberto Fuguet. I think that this book isn't my favorite book, but is the last that I read it. Maybe, some partners don't like this piece of this author because sometimes when anybody, in this university, said "Alberto Fuguet", they said that he's fascist and inconscious writer because his work most of the time is about rich persons or superficial problems that he exaggerates it.

Well, I liked this book because is a story about young people and their problems, like: drug, alcoholism, adolescent pregnant. Also, because it was created with a simple and nearly words so it's very fast of reading. The protagonists of this story are Alvaro and Francisca, two young people that remember us when their son, Pablo honey, born.

I have an anecdote with this book: When my cousin Maida traveled to Australia on last year, I buy for she Aeropuertos in the airport, jijijij. (this is stupid and funny). And then, when she returned at Chile she given back for me this piece, so in this moment I could read Aeropuertos. This was some months ago.

(Really I wrote about this novel because I don't have a favorite book and I don't remember one jajaj)

Here is a review of the book on Amazon.

Publication Date: September 30, 2011

"In Aeropuertos the how overshadows the what : how we face the present, glimpse our future, recover our past, and, finally, how we learn to live with the mistakes we've made. Alvaro listens to Radiohead over and over again while Francisca is pregnant. The soon-to-be parents are only seventeen years old. Other lives, lives she will never have, but perhaps would have had if everything had been different. Would she be happier? She doesn't know. She'd be different, but that is another matter, just as those lives are different; those lives would not include Pablo, her son, Francisca tells herself. This new novel by Alberto Fuguet is a moving tale on the other side of parenthood."

I strongly agree with this review because is very faithful with the piece, and talk about the emotions that involved the story.

Here is a passage of Aeropuertos. 

"Other lives, lives that she never would, but that might have been if everything had been different. Would it be more happy? Do not know. Yes different, but that's another thing, as well as those lives are other lives and these lives are not Paul, his son, " Francisca says quietly.
