This article delves into the author's family life, particularly his relationship with his sister Carolina, who is notably two years older than him. Carolina, an experienced investor obsessed with money, expresses her disappointment for not receiving a copy of the author's latest novel, "Los golpistas". The author is taken aback by her interest, as he has never considered her a reader of his work, having previously gifted copies to his seven athletic brothers instead. This newfound interest seems to highlight shifting family dynamics, particularly within the context of professional ambitions and personal pursuits.

The author candidly explores how familial relationships can be laced with expectations and unvoiced grievances. Carolina's pique at being excluded from his literary circle and the author's perception of her as someone uninterested in novels reflect the broader tension within families concerning recognition and appreciation. Despite the author's reluctance to involve Carolina in his literary endeavors, her unexpected curiosity acts as a catalyst for re-examining their relationship.

Moreover, the family dynamic is further complicated by their mother, Dorita, who, at nearly eighty-six, has reconciled with Carolina following past tensions. This reconciliation serves as a reminder of the bonds that can be mended over time and the importance of familial support, especially as they navigate the aging process together. The author’s narrative illustrates how creativity and family can coexist, even as misunderstandings arise, and how familial love can manifest in various forms, shaping individual identities.
