Description

This Chilean literary thriller tells the story of three lives intertwined
with that of an enigmatic author, whose character is inspired by the
groundbreaking Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector. Vera Sigall, now eighty
years old, has lived a mysterious, ascetic life far from the limelight of
literary circles. This powerful character has a profound effect on those
around her—Daniel, an architect and her neighbor and friend, unhappy in his
marriage and career; Emilia, a Franco-Chilean student who travels to
Santiago to write a thesis on the elusive Vera; and Horacio, an acclaimed
poet with whom Vera had a tumultuous, passionate affair in her youth. As
Daniel, Emilia, and Horacio tell their stories, they reconstruct Vera’s
past, and search for their own identities. Spanning from modern-day Chile
to the 1950s, 60s, and through the years of the Pinochet dictatorship, With
You at a Distance reveals successive mysteries anddiscoveries like a set of
Russian nesting dolls.
