Reina, Elena (28 de noviembre de 2016). «La FIL de Guadalajara celebra 30 años como la capital literaria de América Latina». EL PAÍS . Consultado el 30 de agosto de 2017. Julio, otuz küsur yıl önce Alicia ile birlikte çıktığı yolculuğu yarıda bırakmış olmanın suç­luluğundan kurtulmak isteği ile doludur. Aliza'nın rehberinin oğlundan yazara ait iki elyazmasına ulaşır. Bunlar “Şahsi Bir Dil” ile “Kaybın Lügatı”dır ve sembollerle, şifrelerle yazılmıştır. Üç bölümden oluşan “Cenup”un ilk iki bölümüne de adını verir bu belgeler. Kitabın üçüncü bölümünün adı “Bellek Tiyatrosu”dur. Juan de Paz Raymundo tarafından yaratılan bir projedir. Köyün hafızasını adeta bir müzeymiş gibi yeniden oluşturmayı amaçlayan bu projede askeri diktatörlükte şiddet ve çatışmalar görüp yakılıp yıkılan bir köy ele alınmaktadır. Tanıklıklar yeralmaktadır bu tiyatroda. Ve tanıklıklarda Aliza’dan bahsedilmektedir. He is currently Assistant Professor in Postcolonial Latin American Literature and Culture at the University of Cambridge, as well as Fellow of Trinity College. He lives in Cambridge, United Kingdom with his family. Alicia Abravanel loses the power of speech. Olivia bitterly reports that the town’s gossips refer to Alicia as “The Mute”. She’s also referred to as “the mute gringa”. The opening of Austral has quoted Tranströmer and Canetti respectively on silence, excerpts: A beautifully knotted novel which unfolds with every traced layer of its deeply affecting narrative along side a meditation on memory, mystery and vanishing. Sebaldian in its turns, Austral is a novel of profound questions."Natural History is more than a story I wish I had written. It is a story I wish I had lived. A fantastic and even phantasmal tale of a quest, a work of art masquerading as a scam, and a contemplation on human lives, the novel is an incisive discussion about the nature and meaning of truth. It is also about the 1960s and their aftermath, the literal and figurative existence of fire, and love faded and otherwise. Reminiscent of Roberto Bolaño’s novels in tone and approach, Natural History is a dream that is real and reality that is a dream.” The evocation dissolved with the question as she refilled his mug and he, observing the tattoo that stretched over her forearm, understood the size of his error. He could not be hearing his friend’s voice, not only because she had died ten days earlier, but also because what was at stake in the story they now returned to was precisely the loss of that voice. Un autor que va a por todas, a por la gran novela latinoamericana, desde el primer asalto» (Jesús Nieto Jurado, El Mundo).

Austral is an investigation of a mystery, an ecological novel and an exploration of the strange relationship between Europe and Latin America,” Swainson said. Fonseca is arguably one of the leading Latin American stylists of his generation, and Natural History fundamentally testifies to his belief in writing. At a time of extraordinary accumulation of information, one can think of Natural History as an attempt to redeem the task of writing by placing the creative moment at the center of its polyphony. Is there any greater purpose for literature?” Coronel Lágrimas (Anagrama, 2015). Translated by Megan McDowell as Colonel Lágrimas (Restless Books, 2016) When Abravanel’s unfinished manuscript reaches her old friend, the university professor and insomniac philosopher Julio Gamboa, he traces her steps through Paraguay, Argentina, and Guatemala. He is her mirror or photographic negative who seeks, with a certain detachment, to understand her final days. He also abandons language in the sense of leaving the vernacular of the university where he teaches, to open himself to the idioms of the South American land and its surprises, in a lone journey.

Austral juxtaposes beautifully the search for truth and the artistic process in a depiction that makes one indistinguishable from the other. With great sensitivity, Carlos Fonseca captures the sense of dislocation that comes to define anyone who has ever been displaced.” Austral is Megan McDowell's translation of the Spanish-language novel of the same name by Dr. Carlos Fonseca, Assistant Professor in Postcolonial Latin American Literature and Culture at Cambridge and a Fellow of Trinity. The acadamic credentials are relevant as this is an unashamedly erudite work, but at the same time a fascinating novel. He is also the author of a book of essays, where he writes about the works of writers that have inspired him like Ricardo Piglia, W.G. Sebald, Roberto Bolaño, Marta Aponte Alsina, and Enrique Vila-Matas. This book won the Premio Nacional Aquileo J. Echevarría, Costa Rica’s National Prize of Literature, in the Essay Category. [17] Awards [ edit ] Esta ambiciosa y poliédrica novela construida como una suma de narraciones, de palabras e imágenes, es una fascinante indagación en el dolor de la pérdida, la desaparición de lenguas y recuerdos, la necesidad de la memoria y la escritura, los peligros de la globalización y los lugares recónditos de Latinoamérica que sobreviven a ella. Carlos Fonseca se confirma como una de las más potentes voces de la actual literatura latinoamericana con esta deslumbrante radiografía de las huellas que dejamos, las huellas que borramos y las huellas que buscamos reconstruir. In Austral, Carlos Fonseca is pouring out labyrinths. He liquifies them, spilling them out over the reader’s head, an anointing into vanishing languages and peoples.

katmanlı bir metin Cenup. Ancak çok derken - bence biraz fazla çok sahiden. Birbirinin üzerine binen, iç içe geçen, sarmal gibi birbirine dolanan bir sürü hikaye anlatıyor. Nietzsche'nin kız kardeşinin Paraguay'da kurduğu Yeni Almanya isimli antisemit köyün öyküsünden başlıyor, günümüze uzanıyor. Bunu yaparken de anlatısını bellek, dil ve şiddet ekseninde kuruyor ki hepsi birbirinden zengim konular malum. Juan Rulfo'dan Marguerite Duras'ya, Brueghel'den Wittgenstein'a, Elias Canetti'den Malcom Lowry'ye ve Thomas Bernhard'a uzanan çok sayıda yazar, sanatçı ve felsefeciye de atıflarda bulunuyor roman; referansların tamamını anladım mı, hakkını verebildim mi açıkçası emin değilim. Okurundan ciddi bir entelektüel beklentisi olduğunu söylemek lazım yazarın. Fonseca includes several photographs of Wittgenstein in his book, as a figure of shared devotion by Abravanel and Gamboa. Thought only achieves clarity when it confronts the abyss of impossibility of being communicated: the idea fascinates them both. But the young Abravanel is fascinated by Wittgenstein’s real world moves, his zags from the university classroom to the prisoner camp, while Gamboa focuses more attention on his ideas about a private language, beautiful and impenetrable as a geode.A novel with many ideas that lead in several directions, but I’m not sure they coalesced for me in any satisfactory way. Coronel Lágrimas - Editorial Anagrama". Editorial Anagrama (in European Spanish) . Retrieved 2017-08-30. It was a challenging book, because I‘d never written about a living person without fictionalising them; on the other hand, it follows my old obsession with exploring the impact of history on individual lives,” he said. Vásquez will be in the UK from early October 2022 for six weeks, as Weidenfeld Visiting Professor in comparative European literature at St Anne’s College, Oxford. In the same section, the photographer Ignacio Acosta learns of a study of hallucinated flowers called Fleurs imaginaires and decides to photograph real flowers in Araucaria. There he sees incinerated trees and turns these into paintings of flowers, which resemble a close-up of fungus on eucalyptus. The prose shifts subtly into the scientific before one realizes it is doing so: a kaleidoscopic psychedelia, a constant transition and translation of images and perceptions. The writing is meticulous, precise, nuanced when necessary, always attentive to the novel's changes of pace - El Pais
