Sinopse

A novel about memory, heritage, and emotional roots. In this delicate work, thirteen years in the making, Marcia once again reveals how much philosophical discourse affects and influences her literary writing. In dark times, permeated by disillusionment with ideas and projects, including human ones, she creates a book with an intense poetic vein. Each word pulses emotionally, in a growing staccato until the conclusion. "This face was mine" was born from a true story the author heard as a girl. And, unlike what happens in "The Mantle," "Magnolia," and "The Woman with Her Back," the narrative voice here is male. With his camera, the narrator, faceless and nameless, wants to record the pilgrimage through the tourist destination of V, in Italy. But why? He wanders in search of his own family's history, trying to return to the mythical beginning of all his wanderings. Of all the family dramas. In the childhood narrative, a family mythology of great delicacy is recovered, where the philosopher grandfather is the central figure. There will, however, be the expulsion from paradise. From the angelic world emerges the world of condemnation. Life is a stretched ribbon ready to be cut by the scissors of an undisguised God. From there, an inventory of losses follows: the death of an uncle, a grandmother, and a grandfather. Life fractured by the first experiences of death. Marcia also invents language and style to reconstruct a family mosaic within the labyrinths of language. There is also the keen search for a gallery of images to portray the narrator's philosophical ruminations. "This Face Was Mine" is an enigmatic, touching novel, full of affection and reflection. The narrator's journey in search of his origins is also the journey of all of us in search of the idea of family.
