Synopsis "Glosa (in Spanish)"

Encuadernación: Rústica con solapasColección: Rayos Globulares ¿Qué sucedió aquella noche en la fiesta de cumpleaños de Jorge Washington Noriega? Durante un paseo por el centro de la ciudad, dos amigos, Leto y el Matemático, reconstruyen esa fiesta a la que no acudió ninguno de los dos. Circulan distintas versiones, todas enigmáticas y un poco delirantes, que son revisadas, vueltas a contar y discutidas. En esa larga conversación cruzan anécdotas, recuerdos, viejas historias e historias futuras.Tomando como modelo El banquete de Platón, el argumento estaría cercano al intento imposible de reconstruir un relato.¿Cómo narrar? ¿Cómo y qué narrar en una historia pasada? ¿Cómo contar la violencia, la locura, el exilio, la muerte?

Juan José Saer (Santa Fe, 1937 - Paris, 2005) is one of the essential writers of Argentine literature and a key reference for new generations of readers. His work, considered on par with Borges, Beckett, and Bernhard, includes novels, short stories, essays, and poetry.
Set in the Litoral region of Santa Fe, his novels and stories create a literary universe where characters and their stories intertwine and reappear in different texts.
Based in France since 1968, he was a professor at the University of Rennes. Among the recognitions he received are the Nadal Prize (1987) for La ocasión, the France Culture (2003), and the Unione Latina di Letterature Romanze (2004). His legacy remains alive, and his work, translated into more than twenty languages, has been established as essential reading both within and outside the Spanish-speaking world.
