Acknowledgments

Thanks to Selva Almada and Julián López, for their excellent teaching.

To Marcelo Carnero and Victoria Schcolnik, who gave me Enjambre and in whose company I found that space to write for the first time. To all of my colleagues at the writing workshop and clinic, my first readers.

To Vera Giaconi, who helped me see even farther, and to write what I saw.

Thank you to my children, Ashanti, Ezequiel, Reina, Eva, Valentín, Ariadna, and Benja, for all the time we’ve had together.
