Language: Spanish
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. NOMINADA AL EL PREMIO MAN BOOKER INTERNACIONAL 2020Una novela que defiende la repeticion y reflexiona sobre como se ha construido la historia de la literatura a partir de sucesivas variaciones del relato. En Mac y su contratiempo Enrique Vila-Matas revisita Una casa para siempre, asi como su obsesion por el origen de la literatura y el concepto de originalidad, el paso del tiempo o la posibilidad de corregir el pasado a traves de la escritura.Mac no tiene empleo y ocupa sus horas deambulando y obsesionado con su vecino, un reconocido escritor al que detesta, especialmente cuando este lo ignora. Un dia lo oye hablar con una librera acerca de su primer libro, Walter y su contratiempo, una obra de juventud de la que apenas se acuerda. Mac decide emprender un nuevo proyecto, el de reescribir y mejorar la novela como si fuera suya.Se inicia asi un vertiginoso juego de espejos orquestada por este peculiar lector-autor.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONLONGLISTED FOR THE 2020 MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZEMac is currently unemployed and lives on his wifes earnings from her furniture restoration business. An avid reader, he decides at the age of sixty to keep a diary. Macs wife, Carmen, a dyslexic born of dyslexic parents, thinks he is simply wasting his time and risking sliding further into depressionbut Mac persists, and is determined that this diary will not turn into a novel. However, one day, he has a chance encounter with a near neighbor, a highly successful author who once wrote a collection of enigmatic, willfully obscure stories.Mac decides that, while he will not write his own stories, he will read, revise, and improve his neighbors, which are mostly narrated by a ventriloquist who has lost the ability to speak in different voices. As Mac embarks on this task, he finds that the stories have a strange way of imitating life. Or is life imitating the stories? As the novel progresses, Mac becomes stranger and more adrift from reality, and both he and we become ever more immersed in literature: a literature haunted by death, but alive with the sheer pleasure of writing.
