by Iván Hochman (Author)

«El tiempo es un pelotazo en la nariz. Las galletas se me empastan al paladar. Trago té con miel, misericordioso dios de mi cena insignificante. Migas y sorbitos, la soledad .

Milo vive con sus padres y su hermana, pero se quiere independizar. Mientras recorre la ciudad en bicicleta, visita departamentos en alquiler y se cruza con personajes desopilantes, alguien le va dejando, como pistas que no llevan a ningún lado, notas en las que se repite una pregunta: « Por qué te vas? .

Condensando las ansias de toda una generación, Iván Hochman construye un relato con reminiscencias salingerianas, tierno, honesto y con un agudo sentido del humor en torno a la decisión de irse a vivir solo. Por qué te vas es una obra polifónica donde los testimonios de amigos que dieron el salto, las listas de pendientes y ciertos objetos queridos cuentan una historia e iluminan un futuro.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Time is like a punch in the face. The cookies stick to the roof of my mouth. I swallow tea with honey, merciful god of my meager supper. Sips and crumbs."

Milo lives with his parents and his sister but dreams of being independent. As he travels the city on his bicycle, checking out apartments for rent and meeting amusing characters, someone starts leaving him notes. Like clues leading nowhere, they all ask the same question: "Why are you leaving?"

Encapsulating the anxiety of a generation, Iván Hochman crafts a Salinger-like tale that approaches the decision to move out of the parental home with tenderness, honesty and a biting sense of humor. Por qué te vas is a polyphonic work in which the advice of friends who already took the leap, to-do-lists and sentimental objects chime in to tell a story and illuminate a future.
