«Donde mejor canta un pájaro» is the novel by Alejandro Jodorowsky, published by Siruela in hardback (400 pages, in Spanish).
Jodorowsky tells the life of his ancestors, from great-grandparents to parents, in a comic and legendary tale spanning Ukraine, Paris, Venice, Chile and Argentina. Starting from a phrase by Jean Cocteau, he turns the reality of the family tree into myth: inheritance is both trap and treasure, and memory can become heroic legend through forgiveness.
It is volume 145 of Siruela's Libros del Tiempo collection. The edition was published on 3 March 2002.
A work for those who enjoy contemporary narrative, family stories and humour, with an undertone of memory and psychogenealogy.
Alejandro Jodorowsky Prullansky is a Chilean and French avant-garde filmmaker. Known for his films El Topo (1970), The Holy Mountain (1973) and Santa Sangre (1989), Jodorowsky has been "venerated by cult cinema enthusiasts" for his work which "is filled with violently surreal images and a hybrid blend of mysticism and religious provocation".
