Synopsis "Calibre 22 (in Spanish)"

Sabedor de que son los instintos primarios los que gobiernan las acciones, y que las pretensiones de disfrazarlos de principios no son más que una hipócrita ilusión, los cuentos de Rubem Fonseca ponen en evidencia los puntos en común entre sus protagonistas y quienes usan las caretas como excusa. Los veintinueve relatos reunidos en Calibre 22 son un repertorio de estas situaciones, en las que gente aparentemente ordinaria recurre a ideas de venganza ante la ausencia de una justicia verdadera que limite los abusos de los pequeños tiranos de todos los días. Brutal, cáustico e infalible cuando se trata de exponer la naturaleza humana, Fonseca teje una serie de historias en los que asesinos, estafadores, abusadores, maniacos, celosos, mujeriegos… confunden sus inclinaciones criminales con aspiraciones legítimas.

Rubem Fonseca (Juiz de Fora, Brazil, May 11, 1925 – Rio de Janeiro, April 15, 2020) was one of the most influential writers and screenwriters in contemporary Brazilian literature. Considered a major renovator of narrative in Portuguese, his direct, raw, and uncompromising style masterfully portrayed urban violence, marginality, and the social contradictions of modern Brazil. Before dedicating himself entirely to literature, Fonseca worked as a lawyer and police commissioner in Rio de Janeiro, experiences that deeply marked his work and allowed him to explore human complexity from a unique perspective.

He debuted in 1963 with The Prisoners and gained international notoriety with titles such as Happy New Year, The Collector, The Morel Case, High Art, August, Bufo & Spallanzani, and Vast Emotions and Imperfect Thoughts. His work, essential for dirty realism and Latin American crime literature, has been translated into numerous languages and adapted into films. Fonseca received notable literary awards, including the Camões Prize (2003), the Juan Rulfo Prize (2003), and the Ibero-American Narrative Manuel Rojas Prize (2012), consolidating his legacy as an indispensable reference in Portuguese-language literature.

El cierre de la obra literaria de Rubem Fonseca, en una excelente edición y como cierre entre los cuentos aquí aparecidos, la reaparición y despedida de Mandrake, su personaje fundamental. Maravilloso.
