For years, Boga and the old man have worked side by side on the banks of the Parana, cutting reeds. But when the old man dies, Boga abandons himself entirely to the river and the life of solitary drifting he has long yearned for. Echoes of John Berger sound throughout the densely descriptive prose of this great Argentian writer.
'Neither the old man nor Boga ever said more than was needed. And yet they understood each other perfectly.' For years, Boga and the old man have worked side by side on the banks of the Parana river, cutting reeds to sell to local basketweavers. But when the old man falls sick and dies, Boga abandons himself entirely to the river and the life of solitary drifting he has long yearned for. Echoes of John Berger sound throughout the densely descriptive prose of this great Argentian writer. A twentieth-century classic, Southeaster is a central work in Haroldo Conti's oeuvre.
