Notes from Childhood

A series of luminous vignettes describe the childhood of Argentina`s rediscovered modernist writer. Self-contained, interconnected fragments begin with her family`s departure to Mendoza in 1910 and end with their return to Buenos Aires and the death of her father in 1915. Lange`s notes tell intimate, half-understood stories from the seemingly peaceful realm of childhood, a realm inhabited by an eccentric narrator searching for clues on womanhood and her own identity. She watches: her pubescent older sister, bathing naked in the moonlight; the death of a horse; and herself, a changeable and untimely girl. How she cried, when lifted onto a table and dressed as a boy, and how she laughed, climbing onto the kitchen roof in men`s clothing and throwing bricks to announce her performance. Lange makes her domestic setting into a laboratory where strangeness and eroticism combine in delicate, daring flashes of literary brilliance.
