Confusion of Sorrows " I always knew I would write this book one day. I needed time. I needed to write other books first, gentler, more muted ones, to invent stories, perhaps attempts to get closer to this one. One day in August 2009, because it was the only possible option, I knew I would finally take on the thing I'd always been prowling around.
We write from a very long way away. About the things that can't be said. There comes a time when writing means going and finding all that, the things that have stayed buried and secret, so that they can finally be set free and we can get on with our lives.
A Confusion of Sorrows is a book from a daughter to her father. The daughter, the narrator, takes as her starting point the silence that, for the last ten years, has surrounded her father's conviction and, at the same time, her mother's death, in an attempt to retrace a logical progression: who is the man, a man she loved so all-consumingly as a child, who seemed so far above everyone else, who was suddenly and brutally found guilty of corruption, and whom she can no longer reach today? How can she understand and accept that a man is not just one person but many, secret, contradictory, fallible - human ? And, having found this progression, how can she emerge from the silence that has always connected her to this father who seems so close and yet so far away, so that she can tear away from him and exist at last ? No longer being a daughter and becoming a woman.
A Confusion of Sorrows is that experience, the miraculous experience made possible by writing: passing from one shore to the other - being born at last."
