«La casa y el viento» is the novel by Héctor Tizón published by Alfaguara in hardcover, with 176 pages, in Spanish.
The protagonist, a man who refuses to accept the wait and to live among those he considers murderers, sees the doors of his land close and must leave. The novel follows that forced journey and turns memory into words: exile, uprootedness and the question of how to escape oblivion and silence run through its pages.
The novel was first published in 1984. This Alfaguara edition appeared in 2001 and belongs to the Biblioteca collection.
A work of interest for readers of Argentine literature and for those seeking novels about exile and memory.
Héctor Tizón was an Argentine writer and diplomat. He lived and worked from the ancestral home of his parents in Yala, a small rural town some 40 miles (64 km) north of San Salvador de Jujuy. Tizón served as the cultural attache in the Argentine Embassy in Mexico, and was forced into exile to Cercedilla in the Sierra de Guadarrama, west of Madrid, shortly after the military coup of 24 March 1976. Upon his return to Argentina, he settled back in Jujuy where he died on 30 July 2012. He won the Diamond Konex Award in 2004 as one of the most preeminent writers in Argentina.
