Book Synopsis



Último reducto de la memoria y de los sueños: el cerebro, donde todo ocurre, pero también donde todo puede parar cuando se convierte en una casa a oscuras habitada por nada, nadie, nunca.

El cerebro de mi hermano es un relato de la evolución de un padecimiento degenerativo en el seno de una familia. Recuerdos, emociones, temores y expectativas, el singular proceso de adaptación a lo impensable, el dolor de atestiguar la extinción de un ser querido, pero también la historia compartida, los años, los lugares, las pasiones conjuntas, la apertura a la conciencia del propio final, el ajuste de cuentas inexorable con lo vivido...

Rafael Pérez Gay ha escrito con El cerebro de mi hermano una de sus memorias personales más intensas, un informe final sobre los últimos momentos de José María Pérez Gay (1943-2013): filósofo, escritor, traductor y diplomático; hermano mayor y amigo literario.

Una reflexión descarnada y precisa sobre la condición humana, la enfermedad y la muerte.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The last stronghold of memory and dreams: the brain, where everything happens, but also where everything can stop when it becomes a dark house inhabited by nothing, no one, never.

El cerebro de mi hermano is a story of the evolution of a degenerative disease within a family. Memories, emotions, fears and expectations, the unique process of adapting to the unthinkable, the pain of witnessing the extinction of a loved one, but also the shared history, the years, the places, the joint passions, the openness to the awareness of one's own end, the inexorable settling of accounts with what has been lived...

Rafael Pérez Gay has written one of his most intense personal memoirs with El cerebro de mi hermano, a final report on the last moments of José María Pérez Gay (1943-2013): philosopher, writer, translator and diplomat; older brother and literary friend.

A stark and precise reflection on the human condition, illness and death.
