Description
«Perspicaz, de inteligencia sutil, estilo exquisito, Pron es uno de los escritores más importantes en lengua española. -Alberto Manguel Un circo representa una última función que acaba en tragedia, un periodista busca una historia que jamás podrá permitirse contar, una vaca argentina vislumbra el instante antes de que todo cambie para siempre, varios niños desaparecen en un pueblo alemán, un hombre trata de recrear el momento más feliz de su vida... Con ecos de Borges, de Bolaño, de Aira, y de escritoras que considera sus maestras, como Flannery O'Connor, Lorrie Moore y Amy Hempel, los relatos de Patricio Pron, perturbadores, rompedores, llenos de humor y toques surrealistas, cautivan desde la primera línea. Este volumen recoge una selección de autor en la que, junto a algunas de sus piezas más celebradas por la crítica, como «Salon des refusés , «Es el realismo , «Las ideas o «La repetición , se encuentran otras poco conocidas y más de diez inéditas, de escritura muy reciente. Cada una de ellas proporciona una experiencia de lectura deslumbrante y única, la oportunidad de emprender un viaje hacia lo desconocido e inesperado. Trayéndolo todo de regreso a casa nos asoma al universo narrativo de uno de los autores más radicalmente originales del panorama literario contemporáneo en español. «Muestra de forma convincente (a la vez que explora) el poder que posee la ficción para descubrir las verdades emocionales más profundamente enterradas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Insightful, subtle intelligence, exquisite style, Pron is one of the most important writers in the Spanish language. -Alberto manguel
A circus represents a final performance that ends in tragedy, a journalist searches for a story that he can never afford to tell, an Argentine cow glimpses the moment before everything changes forever, several children disappear in a German town, a man tries to recreate the happiest moment of his life... With echoes of Borges, Bolaño, Aira, and writers he considers his teachers, such as Flannery O'Connor, Lorrie Moore and Amy Hempel; Patricio Pron's stories, disturbing, groundbreaking, full of humor and with a touch of the surreal, captivate from the first line. This volume is a collection from the author in which, along with some of his most celebrated pieces, such as Salon des refusés, Es el realismo, Las ideas or La repetición, there are little known titles and more than ten of his recent unpublished stories. Each of them provides a dazzling and unique reading experience, the opportunity to embark on a journey into the unknown and unexpected. Bringing It All Back Home brings us into the narrative universe of one of the most radically original authors on the contemporary Spanish literary scene. It convincingly shows (while exploring) the power of fiction to uncover the most deeply buried emotional truths.
