“In a tale of intertwining fates & the threads of interiority that connect the most disparate souls, Mexico City–based Guadalupe Nettel perfectly explicates the loneliness of expatriation as well as the gravity of a momentary meeting when one longs for love.” — World Literature Today

“In capturing the voices, travails, & eventual connection of two lonelyhearts, Guadalupe Nettel’s After the Winter captures the spirit of urban loneliness so vividly that it’s often painful to read.” — The Quarterly Conversation

“After the Winter asks big questions about intimacy & desire, happiness & depression, passion & numbness, and, of course, love & loss.” — Southwest Review

IN HAVANA, PARIS, & NEW YORK CITY, CLAUDIO & CECILIA SUCCUMB TO OUR IMPLACABLE MOVEMENT TOWARD LOVE.

Claudio’s apartment faces a wall. Rising from bed, he sets his feet on the floor at the same time, to ground himself. Cecilia sits at her window, contemplating a cemetery, the radio her best companion. In parallel & entwining stories that move from Havana to Paris to New York City, no routine, no argument for the pleasures of solitude, can withstand our most human drive to find ourselves in another & fall in love. And no depth of emotion can protect us from love’s inevitable loss.
