""What is memory? A keg, half-buried in the sand, fresh water entangled with salt water, patches of dirty sand no one has ever stepped on." Marcelo and Miguel, the Santiago brothers, are united by the kind of complicity that only occurs when you share the first years of your life: childhood terrors, romantic awakenings, sick days, and family holidays. What separates them though is the quest for their own identity, independent from one another. Who do we become when we step away from our sibling's eye? How do we wish to be remembered by family? To whom do we commission the final portrait of who we are? With the sensitivity of someone who knows how to sail the mind's troubled waters, Antonio Ramos Revillas explores these very questions after a disappearance takes the characters on a search through the streets of Matamoros, Tamaulipas, and over to the coast of Bagdad Beach. But above all, it makes them capsize over a shared past, where shame and madness uncover layers not entirely hidden from family, an involuntary witness to our failures."--
