Sinopsis

When Las linternas flotantes (Floating Lanterns) was first published, in 2009, Mercedes Roffé explained that the book was "a reaction to things that left us speechless: September 11, Argentina’s economic debacle that led to longu2028months of national and individual hardship and incertitude, the tsunami,u2028Hurricane Katrina, and so many things that seemed to come together in just a few years, thingsu2028 that were so disastrous for the whole world." Like Jeremiah, the prophet of the Book of Lamentations, who mourns the destruction of Jerusalem through the use of acrostics, dirge and communal lament, Roffé, of Sephardic Jewish origins, attends to these "things that left us speechless" through elegy and meditation.
