In 'Ahora y en la hora', Héctor Abad Faciolince presents a moving and personal account in the context of the war in Ukraine. In mid-2023, after open-heart surgery, the author travels to Ukraine and finds himself exploring the horrors of the Russian invasion in the Donetsk region. In a pizzeria in Kramatorsk, a Russian missile strikes, leaving death and desolation, including the loss of the young Ukrainian writer Victoria Amélina.
In this intense narration, Abad Faciolince reflects on life, old age, and death, addressing themes such as the devastating effects of violence and war, indignation at the death of innocents, and the experience of surviving. The author returns with moving frankness to the themes that have generated the best of his literature.

Abad is considered one of the most talented post-Latin American Boom writers in Latin American literature.
