Ghosts in the balcony

Héctor Aguilar Camín

NOVEL. PRH, 2021. 296 PAGES.

‘How to describe the harmony of things that deep down aren't harmonious at all, that experience only a moment's happiness?'

We are all our future ghosts. They live inside of us; the seed of everything we will be. This is a novel about six wayward friends who once lived together in a boarding house opposite a park full of Jacaranda trees in a vividly portrayed Mexico City of the 1960s. The young people in this house live their lives buffeted around by the elements, youth is their only heroic feature. Their modest trials and tribulations express a wild sense of fraternity, enveloped by the randomness of the growing city, the urgency of night and the ante-room to eternal love; fleeting sexual encounters. Ghosts on the Balcony is a novel about nostalgia for a time that both slips through our fingers and sweeps us away. And, like every tale of joy, it is also a ghost story.
