"Conti, Arjantin'in en iyi yazarlarindan biri." - Gabriel García Márquez "Haroldo Conti bir nehir, adalari kucaklayan dereleri ile bir delta. Onun edebiyati, ötekilerin yalnizligina odaklaniyor ve tipki nehrin yaptigi gibi onlari içtenlikle kucakliyor." - Eduardo Galeano "Conti'nin Paraná Deltasi masalinda sanki Hemingway ile Camus bulusuyor." - Melissa Harrison, Financial Times Bütün bir mevsim boyunca Boga ile Ihtiyar, Paraná Deltasi'nin sig kumluklarinda birlikte çalisarak kestikleri sazlari pazardaki sepetçilere satarak geçinirler.Ne Boga, ne de Ihtiyar gereginden fazla konusur, buna ragmen birbirlerini çok iyi anlarlar. Arkadasi ve isvereni olan Ihtiyar'in "zamani gelince" ölmesinin ardindan Boga, her zaman arzuladiginin bilincine vardigi hayati yasamak üzere hiçbir plan yapmadan, eski bir kayikla, yalniz basina nehre açilir. "Hayat, nehir gibi üzerinden akip geçiyordu. Aci ve zevk beklenmedik bir sekilde birbirini izliyordu; biri öbürünü getiriyordu, her sey digerini getiriyordu. Öyle ki iyi bakilirsa temelde her sey birdi; sonu gelmez bir sekilde akan karanlik ve taskin bir su. O, her seyi kabul ediyordu, bir nevi her sey kendisiydi. Hiçbir seye isyan etmesi ya da hayati, nehri en ufak ölçüde bile zorlamasi mümkün degildi."

About the author
Haroldo Conti
25 books22 followersHaroldo Pedro Conti (Chacabuco, 25 de mayo de 1925 - secuestrado y desaparecido en Buenos Aires el 5 de mayo de 1976) fue un escritor y docente argentino, considerado uno de los más destacados de la generación del sesenta, junto con Rodolfo Walsh, Antonio Di Benedetto, Héctor Tizón y Juan José Saer. En 1975 fue galardonado con el Premio Casa de las Américas por su novela Mascaró el cazador americano.
Conti became a secondary-school teacher of Latin, but his passion was for writing, especially for the cinema, and considered putting aside fiction for this at one stage; South-East was first conceived as a cinematic script, and film directors have brought other of his literary work to the screen, taking advantage of its preference for visual strength in the narrative.
Each of Conti’s four novels was awarded a literary prize, culminating in the prestigious Casa de las Américas prize for his last novel, Mascaró, el cazador americano [Mascaró, the American Hunter] (1975). To date, only South-East appears in English translation. Conti also wrote short stories.
Politics forces its way into the story of Conti’s life, but his political instinct was an expression of his interest in ordinary folk: to men as individuals, not to man in the abstract. Conti’s interest in the lives of others wasn’t merely intellectual: he became a keen fisherman, and decided to build a boat; he spent a lot of time with an otter-hunter at one point – and all of this investigation went into his writing, of which South-East was the first important published expression.
Political repression in Argentina intensified following the military coup of March 1976, and Conti was warned by someone with links to the military that his life was in danger. But he decided against exile, and offered his home in the capital as a place of refuge for others under threat of kidnap and murder. Until he was taken from the streets in the early hours of May 5 1976, and is since then listed amongst the many thousands of the "disappeared".
