The Rooftop

English

By (author): Fernanda Trias

Translated by: Annie McDermott

In a rundown apartment building, in an unnamed city in Uruguay, a father and daughter close themselves off from the world.

The world is this house, says Clara, and the rooftop becomes their last recess of freedom. A pet canary is their only witness. 

As Claras connection to the outside is stripped awaythe neighbor who stops coming by, the lover whose existence is only known by a pregnancydesperation and paranoia take hold. It's a stifling embrace, and we are there with her, our narrator, dreading what we know the future holds.
