The New York Times and cataloged as "an indispensable reading".

With only three published books (
Remember this time ,
Only our history remained and
Eventually, the two die ), the author, born and raised in the New York district of Bronx, is one of the most sought after voices in the field of realistic juvenile fiction . Since the announcement of his visit to Buenos Aires, social networks have stopped publishing reviews and quotes from his novels. This afternoon, starting at 2:30 pm, as part of the Children's Book Fair, Adam will receive his readers in the
firmodrome ; then, at the age of 17, he will be introduced to the Argentine Chamber of the CCK (Sarmiento 151) and from 6:30 to 20:00, he will resume his place in the
firmódromo with a pen in his hand.

Many will wonder what are the reasons for Silvera's success. Without a doubt, and as Leonel Teti, Puck's managing editor, explained, one of the important points is that Adam is an author who carries the Lgbtqi + flag everywhere. "In all his novels, we have the presence of various characters, which is interesting?" The author is not limited to falling into the cliché of the closet release, but shows the characters as one more, with their advantages and contras, how they live their lives, their losses, their first love, how they are happy – emphasizes Teti in the role of editor-in-chief of the label that made her known in Spanish – I think it's very important because it's time to stop Marking these characters as different, it is we, we are all, it is a representation of the company today. "

Before making his first title known, Silvera worked as a children's book salesman,
community manager in a literary company and critic of children's novels. "What distinguishes me this author from other young authors, is that all the situations that he describes seem to me very realistic, just like his characters," says Ara Montoya, a blogger from
Real or Not Real Books -. In this genre, we run the risk of making characters aged 16 to 18 appear too mature for their age. But his people make mistakes, and sometimes they are selfish and insecure. "

In each of his novels, Adam addresses various issues important to young people.
Remember this time we have memories, experiences as the main axis of history. What would happen if a company could erase our most painful memories to make us happy? Until what aspect of our life could we shape? In
Eventually, both die we have two boys who have received the call of Sudden Death, a company that, in the near future, warns people that their death is just around the corner. . "In this novel, Silvera shows us the importance of living day to day, without prejudices, the importance of being happy, of accepting ourselves as we are, of being proud of our actions, "explains Leonel Teti. As happens to Mateo and Rufus, we do not have as much time as we would like. "
There was only our story which has just been published in Argentina, which talks about the loss and who has as protagonists two young people who are mourning somebody who They liked. One of the characters is the ex-boyfriend of the deceased boy and the other, the current boyfriend at the time of death. "If we could know what our last day would be, would we try to live fully our days or would we wait for this last call to jump over that precipice that gives us so much fear?

Before landing in Buenos Aires, his first stop before starting his tour through Chile, Peru and Colombia, he told us that fiction has ALWAYS been his pbadion. "For years I have worked as a bookseller, I have written literature reviews and that has made me very happy, I am very grateful to be able to publish, now, my own stories."

The magic library -. He speaks of humanity, empathy, to live life to the full because we will never know when the last day will be, if we will have a second chance. And he does it with a new pen, different from what is read in the genre. "
