Una pareja de varones se encuentra cada domingo. La familia, los hijos, la complejidad del amor desde la perspectiva de uno de los amantes.

Apasionado, dulce, ambiguo, doloroso, el encuentro entre dos varones se repite domingo a domingo en un pequeño departamento. Desde allí se asoman al balcón frente al que se despliega el horizonte majestuoso de árboles y edificios de una Buenos Aires pobre y necia, que grita su ruina. Vendrán inmediatamente los días que los separen, los de la semana, la que los seres humanos dedican al trabajo y la familia. Y volverá luego el día de la entrega y la celebración.

A la cálida primavera que anuncian los jacarandás de las plazas, la precedió la lluvia y le sucederá el frío. A la luz del ocaso, antes y después, el sol de la mañana. Y sobre la superficie clara y mínima de esas horas juntos -las del sexo y la conversación de pocas palabras, un banquete que sacia y desespera- se extienden irremediablemente las sombras de las que está hecho el amor.

En esta novela delicada e intensa, Julián López incita a sus personajes a persistir en el viaje hacia el corazón de los otros. Porque es sólo en esa búsqueda a oscuras que se revela el sentido de la vida.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A male couple meets every Sunday. Family, children, and the complexity of love, all seen from the perspective of one of the two lovers.

Passionate, sweet, ambiguous, and painful, the meeting between two male lovers repeats every Sunday in a small apartment. From that balcony they overlook the magnificent horizon of trees and buildings of a poor and foolish Buenos Aires with its ruin in full display. The days that separate them will soon come, those weekdays, the ones that human beings devote to work and family. But the day in which they give themselves to each other will soon return.

The warm spring revealed by the jacaranda trees in the squares was preceded by rain, and cold weather will follow it. There is always a morning sun before and after a sunset. And on the clear and minimal instances of those hours together - those of sex and short conversations, a banquet that satisfies yet despairs - the shadows of love are spread.

In this delicate and intense novel, Julian Lopez encourages his characters to persist in the journey towards the hearts of others. Because it is only in that gloomy search that the meaning of life is revealed.

Doesn't last long

I have only had this pillow for 8 month and it is flat and not comfortable anymore. I sent the company an email and they never responded. I do now recommend that you buy this pillow.

The pillows have a chemical smell
Size: King (Pack of 1)
I bought two Marlow pillows a while ago. They are great pillows. The two new Marlow pillows I just purchased have a chemical odor. The manufacture date is Sept. 2024. I have them airing out hoping the smell will dissipate , so far that has not happened.

Simply The Best
Size: King (Pack of 1)
It appears there are more than 1,000 pillows advertised and available all over the Internet. The situation is a comedy routine. If you want a cooling pillow because you're a hot sleeper or if you want a plush pillow for back problems or a combination or neither, it doesn't matter. Be prepared to read 1,000 different advertisements until you start laughing out loud. This is what I did, but I wandered upon this Marlow Pillow system and then trusted the Amazon ratings. And boy am I happy, though a word of caution: if you want the cooling technology to really work you've got to pair this pillow with the Marlow pillow protector. Because Amazon didn't carry the pillow protector I bought it directly from Marlow. And this is the last pillow I'll ever get or need to get. Comfortable like a goose down pillow and yet cool to the touch and cool all night long. So I got lucky; have avoided having to buy multiple pillows; and now am enjoying the heck out of my Marlow King with the Marlow pillow protector. Lastly, this pillow is adjustable with a zipper and it works: you can make it softer or harder with a quick zip. The best pillow out there, by far!
