Éste Que Ves (Paperback)

In a circle of hell sometimes referred to as childhood, a boy is stalked by countless threats: the orphanage, humiliation, ostracization, and beatings, not to mention the frigid secret, the guilty pleasure of sin, and that withered face in the portrait that won’t cease to remind him of his lack of innocence and his persisting cowardice. At once bitter and picaresque, this story of childhood results in an unsettling vision of nostalgia and rejection as two sides of a coin tumbling endlessly through the air.
