Synopsis
Irene Lauson seeks through physics a link between truth and happiness, according to the publisher's presentation reproduced by Lecturalia. Alfredo Etchart, her literature professor, who sees the world through art and Marxism, becomes her lover, and their affair is intense and conflict-ridden. In an interview with Claudia Roldós, the author describes the young woman's struggle between her thought and her body, and the place her mother takes in it, through whom motherhood entered the book.
