Synopsis "Formas Breves (in Spanish)"

Formas breves es una recopilaci¢n de textos miscel neos que el propioautor describe como «p ginas perdidas en el diario de un escritor». En ellas reflexiona sobre la literatura desde la ficci¢n hasta elpensamiento cr¡tico, desde un di logo con los autores que se hanconvertido en la estela de su obra e imaginario -Arlt, Macedonio,Borges, Gombrowicz, Kafka, Chjov, Joyce y Hemingway, entre otros-hasta los temas m s abstractos, como la naturaleza del relato corto oel punto de inflexi¢n entre realidad y ficci¢n. Este es un homenaje ala literatura misma, un lugar donde se pone en juego su doble filo:una ficci¢n que se lee como una verdad ap¢crifa, un realismo queaparece como un artificio veraz.

«Asimilando ensayo y narraci¢n en ese gnero h¡brido por excelenciaque es el diario, Piglia esboza las claves de su potica.»
Ignacio Echevarr¡a

Ricardo Piglia (Adrogué, 1941-Buenos Aires, 2017) is unanimously considered a classic of current Spanish-language literature. He published his five novels at Anagrama: Artificial Respiration, The Absent City, Burnt Money (adapted into film by Marcelo Piñeyro; Planeta Prize Argentina), Nocturnal Target (Critics' Prize, Rómulo Gallegos Prize, International Dashiell Hammett Novel Prize, and José María Arguedas Casa de las Américas Narrative Prize) and The Path of Ida; the stories of The Invasion, False Name, Perpetual Prison and The Cases of Commissioner Croce; and the texts of Brief Forms (Bartolomé March Critic's Prize), Criticism and Fiction, The Last Reader, and Personal Anthology, which can be read as the first essays and attempts at a future autobiography, which crystallizes in The Diaries of Emilio Renzi, divided into three volumes. Piglia was also awarded the Grand Prize of Honor of the Argentine Writers Society, the José Donoso, the Ibero-American Narrative Manuel Rojas, the Konex, and the Formentor de las Letras. The critical reception of this author in Spain was truly exceptional: "Spectacular landing" (Ignacio Echevarría, El País); "One of the most lucid minds in the current Latin Hispanic American scene, not only Argentine" (Joaquín Marco, El Mundo); "There are few necessary writers who are demonstrating, today, the vitality of their intellectual proposals" (Jordi Carrión, Avui); "Ricardo Piglia, the classic rebel" (J. A. Masoliver Ródenas, La Vanguardia)
