Un ruido de fondo que nunca se apaga

Written out of the questions of his early years with a small child, these essays combine stories, reflection and memoir. Amazed by his daughter's first steps, the author admits that harm to her would now hurt him more than harm to himself. He also looks back at the men who raised him, or failed to: a father who came and went, was violent towards his mother and has not spoken to him in some thirteen years, and a stepfather who drank and was violent yet loved films and books. Treating fatherhood as a kind of essay, learned by trial and error, he tries to understand what he inherited and the parent he is becoming.
