Giannuzzi, el intimista

Rate this book
Este libro reúne dos ensayos de Sergio Chejfec que pueden leerse como cara y contracara de una misma figura. Primero está el relato de una conferencia que arranca de un viejo texto suyo sobre el poeta argentino Joaquín Giannuzzi, narra las circunstancias en que fure dictada y las múltiples derivas de su experiencia de lectura. El segundo ensayo, llamado "El intimista", es ese viejo texto a partir del cual ha discurrido la conferencia, un delicado retrato literario donde Chejfec esboza una suerte de poética de la intimidad, muy próxima, por lo demás, a la que él mismo exploró en su fascinante obra.

Sergio Chejfec

39 books50 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.

«Sería equivocado decir que Gianuzzi busca filosofar, más bien parece que busca reivindicar una comprensión perpleja del mundo.»
