Demian Orosz, La voz I korta kapitel i olika format, från reflektioner till WhatsApp-meddelanden och e-post, tillåter berättaren oss att blicka in i ödemarken, men också in i ömheten, skönheten, ilskan, galenskapen, humorn och ironin som han upptäcker i processen att acceptera och förstå tragedins alla ekon. Dessutom inkluderar han musikaliska, litterära, filmiska, sexuella, medicinska, politiska och sociala referenser som avslöjar, ibland brutalt och ibland lekfullt, faderns kritiska syn på den samtida världen. BBC MundoVad blir det av en förälder när ett barn dör? Bokens huvudperson, som är en avbild av författaren själv, förlorar plötsligt sin åttaåriga dotter och blir den döda flickans far.
