He knows he has to say goodbye and that it is the last chance to tell him what he never dared to say: who he really is, the fear he always had of him, the shame, and the desire. Years later, that impossible conversation becomes \u003cem data-start=\"746\" data-end=\"763\"\u003eYo era un chico\u003c\/em\u003e, the long letter in which Fer Rivas finally writes to his father everything he kept silent about during his childhood and adolescence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"1376\"\u003eThe book goes through scenes from his life – school, first friendships, the discovery of desire – and the family history: the Galician grandparents who emigrated to Barcelona in the 1950s, the SEAT factory, the apartment suffering from aluminosis, social climbing, and the class shame that spans generations. In this fabric of memories, the author tries to understand his sexuality, his identity, and the relationship with an authoritarian, absent father marked by his own traumas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1378\" data-end=\"1863\"\u003eRivas writes a raw and brave text that calls things by their name – love, hate, class, desire, fear – and breaks the chain of suffocating, inherited masculinity that passes from grandfather to father and from father to son. \u003cem data-start=\"1611\" data-end=\"1628\"\u003eYo era un chico\u003c\/em\u003e is at once a letter to the father, family memoir, and a chronicle of how silences and symbolic violence can shape a life, but also of how it is possible to say enough and open a path toward another way of being and existing in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sexto Piso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56329621045592,"sku":"LIB-YO-SE-355","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/yo-era-un-chico-fer-rivas-9078598.jpg?v=1764842290","url":"https:\/\/uk.plasticbooks.com\/en\/products\/yo-era-un-chico-fer-rivas","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
