Synopsis "Las Bellas Extranjeras (in Spanish)"

Un libro magistral por el que desfilan escritores, artistas, policías, estudiantes, funcionarios culturales y hasta fantasmas: tres relatos cargados de un humor que nos lleva de la sonrisa cómplice a la abierta carcajada.Mircea Cărtărescu, autor de las visionarias Nostalgia o Lulu, aborda tres relatos magistrales, cargados de un humor amargo y brutal. El volumen se abre con «Ántrax», que narra, en plena paranoia post-11-S, cómo el autor recibe un sospechoso sobre desde Dinamarca, hecho que moviliza al kafkiano establishment policial rumano. En «Las Bellas Extranjeras», indudable pièce de résistance del volumen, asistimos al delirante viaje del autor en compañía de once escritores rumanos a tierras francesas, un descenso a los infiernos que alcanza, por momentos, la grandeza de lo grotesco. En «El viaje del hambre», un joven Cărtărescu aspirante a poeta en la época previa a la caída del comunismo, es invitado por un grupo de escritores de una ciudad de provincias y se ve arrastrado a un sinfín de situaciones absurdas con el estómago vacío y muerto de frío.

Mircea Cartarescu was born on June 1, 1956 in Bucharest, Romania into a middle-class family. From an early age, he showed a strong interest in literature and music, influenced by the counterculture of the 60s and 70s. He pursued his studies at the University of Bucharest, in the faculty of letters where he earned a PhD with a fascinating thesis on Romanian postmodernism. He has been a university professor, editor, and contributor to literary magazines, as well as an active member of the Romanian PEN Club and the European Cultural Parliament.

He began his literary career as a poet in 1978 and published his first book, Faurir, vitrin, fotografii (1980), which earned him the Romanian Writers' Union Award. His work is characterized by lyrical, dreamlike, and experimental prose, in which the boundary between reality and dream blurs. He has explored themes such as memory, identity, recent Romanian history, and the transformative power of literature.

He was awarded the prestigious Formentor Prize for Literature, and has received awards of the importance of the Leipzig Book Award for European Understanding, the Gregor von Rezzori Prize, the Thomas Mann Prize, the Austrian State Prize for European Literature, and the FIL Prize for Literature in Romance Languages. His texts have been translated into more than a dozen languages.
