Summary
<br><br>
Arboleda's narrator travels alone to Italy for a stay she had planned with her recently deceased partner, M. There, faithful to her flâneuse walks, lingering in secluded places, humble cemeteries and shoulders of secondary roads, but always attentive to the luminous details, her gaze seals a new pact with life: «I had learned to leave, to erase tracks , to save the accumulated and collected ». Thus, Arboleda is a book of mourning, but it is transcended through a shrewd, cultured and deeply empathetic style. Belted to three places in Italy, three landscapes, this beautiful triptych has the distance of a modern Georgian: pain is what happens while men live and work, new birds fly through the sky and nature is silent. Perhaps this is the destiny of great literature: to preserve memory without ceasing to "return to the city of the living." Compared to Sebald and Thoreau, Esther Kinsky is great for her own qualities, for a captivating writing from the first sentence. A beautiful winter trip, as exciting as it is restorative.
