Sergio Biscio does it again: he thinks, paints, sketches and builds a literary architecture of colors, plots and dialogues, gripping the reader in his guts and taking him through a human odyssey without the possibility of breathing. In the first line of "That Was the Sky" an explosion occurs: a man arrives at his home and sees that his partner is being attacked. Instead of intervening, and without time to think clearly, he chooses to hide and watch, lest his presence cause an even more terrible disaster. Neither partner admits to the incident. Therefore, the couple's relationship and Biscio's prose disintegrate into the stories of fragments – back and forth, in and out, in all directions. And the plots will dangle and intersect again, gradually, in an attempt to re-embroider the existence of the character and the family. As in most of his books, Biscio dissects, analyzes, and narrates in his unique language and skills about the worlds closest to us: domestic space, relationships, love and contradiction, middle class and new-age, fears and frustrations, consciousness and instincts – all the intimate – and terrifying – movements around which we live. Prepare, once again, for a dizzying pace, for almost tangible tension: Sergio Biscio knows what he wants to tell and exactly how to tell it. We, the readers, will complete the circle, because to some extent, our generation, we ourselves, are present in the book. "That Was the Sky" is Sergio Biscio's fourth book to be published in Hebrew. An acclaimed novel, adapted for film by Martin Scorsese, and one of the author's seminal works. "One of the most moving openings in Argentine literature in recent decades is the introduction to the best book in Sergio Biscio's corpus of works." Sabrina Gutierrez "In 'This Was the Sky,' Sergio Bisio secures his place as one of the most fascinating writers in Latin American literature of the 21st century." Alejandro Cardona "A disturbing novel about secrets and silences, about cowardice and humiliation." Inéqui García
