Koto Y Yo (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Koto y Yo is a pioneering work about the feelings and intensity of fatherhood that we still rarely read-or imagine is possible-from a male writer. Koto y Yo is a travel book that is a voyage around Poble Sec-a working class neighbourhood of Barcelona-and, at the same time, a journey to the core of what it means to be human. It is a love song to the changing seasons, to parenthood, to the passing of time, to language, and to the inhabitants of the city. It's easy to forget the beauty and magic when you're a new parent, what with the overwhelming sleep deprivation, mountain of dirty nappies, and hours spent trying to get the baby to sleep so you can finish your dinner while it's still warm. Koto y Yo allows us to slow down, take a breath, and to keep our eyes and senses open to every tiny moment of incandescent beauty in those early days when-for parent and baby alike-the world feels brand new.
