- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Linden Tree
By Cesar Aira
2003/2018
Originally published in Argentina, written in 2003 thus reflective and charming novella is a walk through the memories of a young man's childhood, it could be Aira life.....
It is a story of the love he felt for his father, a man who every day traveled to the linden tree to gather the linden flower to make a tea for his deformed and deranged mother....
Riveting. Recommended. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A novella really, but incredibly dense nontheless. What may be a fictionalized version of the authors own life. A black father, who was an ardent Catholic before he became a Peronist, seems he couldn't be two things at once. His deformed, overly dramatic mother with her thick glasses and outlandish idea. His town called Pringles, and yes I thought of the potato chip brand every time he mentioned the name, his friends there, his teachers. Free flowing thoughts, one blending into the next as he describes their lives under Eva Peron. A time when the poor were encouraged to think they could rise to the middle class.As I said very dense, and I know I probably missed the significance of much, not being overly familiar with this time period. This is, I suspect, that needs a second reading. I believe this is one of those books that one would notice more and more, if read more than once. Right now all I can say was that while I found it interesting, I probably missed more than I took in.
