Synopsis "Efectos Personales (in Spanish)"

Efectos personales fue el primer libro de ensayos del cuentista de La casa pierde y el novelista de Materia dispuesta. Con otras obras de Juan Villoro, ésta comparte el ritmo apasionado de la prosa y la capacidad de observación más certera. Para retratar a sus figuras, el autor se sirve en forma versátil del testimonio en corto (Alejandro Rossi), la sabrosa erudición (Ramón María del Valle-Inclán) o los rui­dosos informes de contracultura (William S. Burroughs). En otros casos, se concentra en el detallado análisis de libros que han cambiado el curso de la literatura (Lolita, Pedro Páramo, El juguete rabioso, La isla del tesoro).
 
Registro de lecturas compulsivas, Efectos personales incluye un safari al jardín ilustrado de Augusto Monterroso, un viaje sin aduanas por los territorios de Sergio Pitol, la indagación del exilio póstumo de Thomas Bernhard, el mapa de un país llamado Italo Calvino, la imaginativa confrontación de la pintura de Goya con las figuraciones de la “época negra” de Carlos Fuentes.
 
Ensayos de inteligencia rápida, con frecuencia animados por el humor, estos quince episodios ofrecen las afinidades electivas de un narrador que, al reflexionar sobre los otros, traza un autorretrato conjetural y confirma el aforismo de Lichtenberg: “Un libro es como un espejo”. Leer significa retratarse, entregar efectos personales.
