About the author

Sergio Chejfec

37 books49 followers
Sergio Chejfec is an Argentine Jewish writer. He was born in Buenos Aires in 1956. From 1990 to 2005 he lived in Venezuela, where he published Nueva sociedad, a journal of politics, culture and the social sciences. He currently lives in New York City and teaches in the Creative Writing program in Spanish at New York University.

Chejfec has written novels, essays and a poetry collection. His works include Lenta biografía (1990), Los planetas (1999), Boca de lobo (2000), Los incompletos (2004), Baroni: un viaje (2007), Mis dos mundos (2008), and La experiencia dramática (2012). He has been compared to Juan José Saer, which he finds flattering but not accurate. His novels usually feature a slow-paced narration that interweaves a minimal plot with reflection. Memory, political violence, and Jewish-Argentine culture and history are some of the recurring themes in his work.

Es un libro que compre hace un año en la Feria del libro del Zócalo, lo compre por que la editorial que lo publicó es muy pequeña y la señora que los vendía era super amable.

Es una pequeña historia contada en primera muy rara, porque es un narrador que escribe este pequeño cuento basándose en un diario de alguien, cuenta la mayor (o toda) la vida de este personaje. No quiero hacer spoiler de este libro, pero a ratos sentía que empezaba hablar de algo y terminaba hablando de otra cosa totalmente diferente.

Es un libro de muy pocas paginas y de un tamaño pequeño, creo yo que no se tiene que filosofar tanto, aunque en algunas parte te mal viajas pensando en los paisajes que se describe.

Si se quiere pasar un rato agradable leyendo una mini aventura creo que es un buen libro.
