One trip. Two triangular relationships. Three voices. A book that reads like a breathtaking road trip movie. A father and son hit the road in a truck, together. They do so for the first time, which may be the last. During the trip, they will share much more than space and time. At the same time, Elena – the mother and partner, who remains in the city – also embarks on her own personal journey: she embarks on a purifying adventure that challenges her ethical and moral boundaries. "Speaking to Ourselves": a lyrical, erotic, moving and funny book, full of plots in changing colors, a book with layers. A novel that moves between memories and the present tense, between sexuality and family, and between happiness and sadness. This is a book about love and fate; about parenthood and desire. A disturbing and beautiful novel, exploring the relationship between Eros and Thanatos. "Writes with supreme grace. Good readers will find in his work that which can only be found in great literature, that which is written by true poets." Roberto Bolaño "Nauman's novel seems alive not only because its characters and events are so well described, but also because its story is made up of the materials of life itself." Jeremy Gerber, "Three Presents" "When you read Nauman's beautiful novel, you realize that the bar has been set very high." The Guardian
