In Aeropuertos the "how" overshadows the "what": how we face the present, glimpse our future, recover our past, and, finally, how we learn to live with the mistakes we've made. Alvaro listens to Radiohead over and over again while Francisca is pregnant. The soon-to-be parents are only seventeen years old. "Other lives, lives she will never have, but perhaps would have had if everything had been different. Would she be happier? She doesn't know. She'd be different, but that is another matter, just as those lives are different; those lives would not include Pablo, her son," Francisca tells herself. This new novel by Alberto Fuguet is a moving tale on the other side of parenthood.
