A delicate, sober, and vital book about family bonds, absence, and writing. A dazzling elegy. Ten years after his father's death, the narrator of this book decides to write it. With the shadow of suicide that prevents mourning, he wonders: is it possible to find the words for a farewell that never happened? Thus, this personal and intimate story becomes a search to understand how family bonds are forged, what silence condemns, and where the truth of a story hides. But writing fails, and the author turns to the biographies of writers who committed suicide and their last notes to reconstruct a possible, tentative goodbye. It will only be through a polyphonic and choral narration that he can return to the forgotten corners of his own life, where memory becomes emptiness. Relíquia then transforms into a family chronicle that contains a reflection on the arrival at writing and the meaning of creation; a text about death and absence that leads to the brightest moments of friendship and love. With a restrained style, without twists, Pol Guasch has built a delicate and vital book: a dazzling elegy.
