La bahía, de Cynan Jones, es un relato en primera persona de un hombre que de pronto, luego de un accidente, se ve atrapado en el mar, herido y sin muchas oportunidades de volver a tierra firme aunque pueda verla, allí, tan lejos y tan cerca al mismo tiempo. El narrador nos envuelve en su mundo en el que roza el peligro y el delirio; pero también su profunda necesidad de entender ese momento en el que parece pisar la muerte con cautela mientras revuelve recuerdos de su padre y de su hijo próximo a nacer. Invitado especial: Matías Battistón, traductor de la novela al español. Publicado por Chai editora.
