Items related to That Empty Space
A bomb explodes in a university cafe, claiming the lives of nineteen students. The Empty Space begins with the identification of those nineteen dead. The mother who enters the cafe last to identify the nineteenth body brings home her dead eighteen-year-old son packed in a box, as well as the sole survivor of the blast, a three-year-old boy who, by a strange quirk of fate, is found lying in a small empty space, alive and breathing. The Empty Space chronicles the memories of the boy gone, the story of the boy brought home, and the cataclysmic crossing of life and death.

Review:
“The Empty Space attempts to personalize a terrorist attack and poignantly steers the reader to grapple with the terrible destruction after a bomb blast.” (Sunday Guardian)
“Even in translation, the novel reverberates with language and reference, and even if the English reader misses some of that, the general feel of it remains. While it is far from straightforward realist fiction, The Empty Space nevertheless remains solidly and clearly grounded in the familiar (even if it is not always readily identifiable). The Empty Space is a largely successful exercise in formal experimentation, and a quite moving story of the aftermaths of a horrible event.” (Complete Review)
