Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a relatively short collection of poems based on the universal human theme of love explored from different perspectives – from the sublime to the mundane; from the gross to the subtle; from the objective to the subjective. The poems highlight the various movements and shades of love, the associated emotions and various feelings like happiness, pain, passion, anger, greed, care, hope, competitiveness, frustration, restlessness, irritation, peace, hatred, healing, gratefulness, delusion and anxiety that are evoked in the state of love. Going through all that emotional turmoil and mire, one may suddenly see oneself clearly in the broken mirror of love, transcending the persistent sense of un-satisfactoriness of human existence to ultimately accept and love oneself.

[and an] honest reflection of exile.” —The New Yorker In the tradition of Roberto Bolaño’s Savage Detectives, a celebrated classic and heart-wrenching story of a family torn apart by the forces of history, by one of Latin America’s most celebrated writers The late Mario Benedetti’s work was often ranked with “such esteemed Latin American writers as Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Fuentes and Julio Cortázar” (The Washington Post) and his novel The Truce has sold millions of copies around the world. His extraordinary novel Springtime in a Broken Mirror revolves around Santiago, a political prisoner in Uruguay, who was jailed after a brutal military coup that saw many of his comrades flee elsewhere. Santiago, feeling trapped, can do nothing but write letters to his family and try to stay sane. Far away, his nine-year-old daughter Beatrice wonders at the marvels of 1970s Buenos Aires, but her grandpa and mother—Santiago’s beautiful, careworn wife, Graciela—struggle to adjust to a life in exile. Published now for the first time in English, Springtime in a Broken Mirror tells with tenderness and fury of the indelible imprint politics leaves on individual lives. Generous and unflinching, it asks whether the broken bonds of family and history can ever truly be mended.
