Think science

It never quite comes back
Matilde Gordero-Moreno · Bullent editions · 2022
It never quite comes back is un book of travel chronicles, cultural articles, evocations and tales of the return. Matilde Gordero approaches with honesty, humor and grace in the experience of returning to the place of origin, spoon, and starting over. After a long absence and a time on the run, to return means to find what is no longer there, what is new and what remains immovable, as well as the courage to live close to all those who make you laugh and make you suffer. As the author very well says: once you left, "it never quite comes back". A tender book, agile and that invites reflection. LOURDES TOLEDO
