Sinopse

In a plot with a dark setting, a separated couple reunites on either side of their dead son's coffin, each reviewing their lives and what led them to that tragic situation.

In this book, Lya Luft addresses the central theme of her literature: human relationships, especially family relationships, and more specifically, one of humanity's most questioned themes: death; sinister and seductive, treated in a dense, poetic, and mysterious manner. Here, she becomes the central character—sinister and seductive, a theme inescapable, yet everyone tries to deny—is treated in The Closed Room in a dense, poetic, and mysterious manner.

Madness, secrets, guilt, missed encounters, frustrated loves, fatality, omission, tenderness succumbing to negative forces make the reader feel portrayed, touched, and understood here and there. The author constructs scenes and dialogues in which delicacy and brutality alternate to delineate the harsh condition of human existence, sometimes sordid, sometimes light and pleasurable. These are small details that, revealed in Lya's text, seem familiar, real, familiar to us: they are our torments laid out in these pages, with a sober and relentless, but never condemnatory, perspective.

"He took his first steps toward his Death, embracing her, who instructed him slowly. There was no hurry: drifting, slowly, he moved away from a world that no longer interested him. He had the face of an adolescent, almost a delicate woman. But, covered in a golden dust, he had lost his youth and wore that solemn mask: the ice of a new wisdom."
