What we say:

An important site for astronomical observation in Chile is also the site of politically motivated executions by Pinochet's Caravan of Death in 1973. Constellations visible from this spot were assigned to the people murdered and the author of Voyager was asked to write to one of their families in commemoration. By blending the narratives of her mother’s illness, the cosmos and Chilean politics, Fernández asks how we might better tell the truth when remembering what we have lost. The last section in particular is poignant and thought-provoking, and it's one I'd like to reread soon.

Molly 11th July 2024

A beautiful work of experimental memoir, Fernández's Voyager blends the personal with neuroscience, astrology and Chilean social history in its exploration of memory and truth.
