The world around him is harsh and precarious: breeding dogs, cows, dead animals piled up in the yard, an irascible father obsessed with obituaries, and a silent mother who spends hours playing online card games. Breakfast is hard bread with butter and sugar. Money is scarce, and survival depends on small hustles, improvised sales, or occasional thefts that, from time to time, allow a toast with a bottle of cheap wine and pretending life is something else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1015\" data-end=\"1453\"\u003eAmid this impoverished rural landscape, Tue observes, imagines, and resists. His creativity and wit become an intimate refuge, the only way to endure an environment that offers no comfort. Through everyday scenes, Korsgaard builds a fragmentary and precise narrative, where the seemingly trivial reveals deep tensions and where desire appears subtly, never fully named, but always present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1455\" data-end=\"1788\"\u003eWith prose that combines rawness, humor, and unexpected tenderness, \u003cem data-start=\"1522\" data-end=\"1532\"\u003eEl patio\u003c\/em\u003e transcends rural realism to become a powerful portrait of childhood, poverty, and the ability to not give up. An intense and luminous novel about growing up on the margins and learning to breathe within a world that seems to leave no space.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56733521936728,"sku":"LIB-EL-RA-513","price":21.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8464\/0856\/files\/9788439744764.jpg?v=1771287318","url":"https:\/\/eu.plasticbooks.com\/en\/products\/el-patio","provider":"Plastic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
