Mapas Difusos / Vanishing Maps [Spanish]

La aclamada autora de So?ar en cubano nos entrega la continuaci?n de su novela, donde le sigue la pista a cuatro generaciones de la familia del Pino a trav?s de los tumultuosos panoramas contempor?neos de Cuba, Estados Unidos, Alemania y Rusia.

Celia del Pino, matriarca de una extensa familia cubana, ha visto a sus descendientes migrar a todas partes del mundo, luchando por comprender sus identidades transnacionales y las tensas relaciones entre unos y otros.

En Berl?n, el carism?tico pero conflictivo Ivanito se presenta en el escenario con su personalidad de drag queen, mientras se siente acosado por el fantasma de su madre. Pilar Puente, a la deriva en Los ?ngeles, es una escultora y madre soltera con problemas financieros. La prima de Ivanito, Irina, se ha convertido en la acaudalada due?a de una empresa de lencer?a en Mosc?, pero a?n se siente profundamente sola tras la muerte de sus padres y el distanciamiento de su herencia cubana. Mientras tanto, en La Habana, Celia se prepara para reunirse con su amante perdido, Gustavo, y se pregunta si la edad y las d?cadas separados habr?n alterado el v?nculo que los un?a.

Alejados de sus ra?ces cubanas, pero sintiendo todav?a la ineludible atracci?n de la isla, Ivanito y su familia intentan descubrir el lugar al que pertenecen, y junto a qui?n. A lo largo de un a?o memorable, cada uno lidiar? con su historia mientras son llamados a Berl?n para una ?ltima y explosiva reuni?n.

Situada veinte a?os despu?s de los eventos de So?ar en cubano, la nueva novela de Cristina Garc?a es una historia ?pica sobre la familia, la devoci?n y la b?squeda eterna del hogar.

"Una hermosa novela: hilarante en un momento, acechante despu?s". --Chris Bohjalian, autor de The Flight Attendant y The Lioness

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the acclaimed author of Dreaming in Cuban, a follow-up novel that tracks four generations of the del Pino family against the tumultuous backdrops of Cuba, the U.S., Germany, and Russia in the new millennium

"A beautiful novel: hilarious one moment, haunting the next." --Chris Bohjalian, author of The Flight Attendant and The Lioness

Celia del Pino, the matriarch of a far-flung Cuban family, has watched her descendants spread out across the globe, struggling to make sense of their transnational identities and strained relationships with one another. In Berlin, the charismatic yet troubled Ivanito performs on stage as his drag queen persona, while being haunted by the ghost of his mother. Pilar Puente, adrift in Los Angeles, is a struggling sculptor and the single mother of a young son. In Moscow, Ivanito's cousin Irina has become the wealthy owner of a lingerie company, but she remains deeply lonely in the wake of her parents' deaths and her estrangement from her Cuban heritage. Meanwhile, in Havana, Celia prepares to reunite with her lost lover, Gustavo, and wonders whether age and the decades spent apart have altered their bond.

Cut off from their Cuban roots, yet still feeling the island's ineluctable pull, Ivanito and his extended family try to reimagine where--and with whom--they belong. Over the course of a momentous year, each will grapple with their histories as they are pulled to Berlin for a final, explosive reunion.

Set twenty years after the events in Dreaming in Cuban, Cristina Garc?a's new novel is an epic tale of family, devotion, and the timeless search for home.
