«En la distancia» is the memoir by Josefina Aldecoa, published by Alfaguara in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Josefina Aldecoa reviews her life like someone assembling an incomplete puzzle: pieces are missing and there are empty spaces that may hide unacknowledged memories. Between sharp and hazy sequences, she moves from childhood to her maturity in Cantabria and reflects on memory, forgetting, and the passage of time.
Published in 2004, it is catalogued as biography and autobiography and is part of the Hispánica collection.
Recommended for readers of memoirs and biographies of writers, interested in personal testimonies of Spanish-language literature.
