Literary synopsis
Through multiple passages, this novel tells a story of holes appearing inside other holes. It is the chronicle of a breakup that results in a journey toward family origins. Verónica, the daughter of Argentine exiles who settled in Mexico City, must move back into the apartment from which her mother suddenly disappeared. When words fail, fall short, or stop working altogether, they yield to drawings and abstractions. Conjunto vacío (Empty Set ) traces a language of its own, composed of letters, diagrams, and hollowed spaces.
