Book Synopsis A Dream Come True by : Juan Carlos Onetti
Download or read book A Dream Come True written by Juan Carlos Onetti and published by Archipelago. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Dream Come True collects the complete stories of Juan Carlos Onetti, presenting his existentialist, complex, and ironic style over the course of his writing career. Onetti was praised by Latin America's greatest authors, and regarded as an inventor of a new form and school of writing. Juan Carlos Onetti's A Dream Come True depicts a sharp, coherent, literary voice, encompassing Onetti's early stages of writing and his later texts. They span from a few pages in "Avenida de Mayo - Diagonal - Avenida de Mayo" to short novellas, like the celebrated detective story "The Face of Disgrace" and "Death and the Girl," an existential masterpiece that explores the complexity of violence and murder in the mythical town of Santa María. His stories create a world of writing which is both universal and highly local, mediating between philosophical characters and the quotidian melodrama of Uruguayan villages.

Book Synopsis Poemas de amor / Love Poems by : Idea Vilariño
Download or read book Poemas de amor / Love Poems written by Idea Vilariño and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longlist, 2021 PEN Award for Poetry in Translation Eight years before Sylvia Plath published Ariel, the Uruguayan poet Idea Vilariño released Poemas del Amor, a collection of confessional, passionate poetry dedicated to the novelist Juan Carlos Onetti. Both of her own merit and as part of the Uruguayan writers group the Generation of ’45—which included Onetti, Mario Benedetti, Amanda Berenguer, and Ida Vitale—Vilariño is an essential South American poet, and part of a long tradition of Uruguayan women poets. Vilariño and Onetti’s love affair is one of the most famous in South American literature. Poemas del Amor is an intense book, full of poems about sexuality and what it means to be a woman, and stands as a testament to both the necessity and the impossibility of love. This translation brings these highly personal poems to English speaking audiences for the first time side-by-side with the original Spanish language versions. THE WITNESS I don’t ask you for anything don’t accept anything from you. It’s enough that you are in the world that you know I am in the world that you might be To me, you might be witness judge and god. If not what is it for.
Download or read book Sevastopol written by Emilio Fraia and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three subtly connected stories converge in this chimerical debut, showcasing a powerful new Brazilian voice Three subtly connected stories converge in this chimerical debut, each burrowing into a turning point in a person’s life: a young woman gives a melancholy account of her obsession with climbing Mount Everest; a Peruvian-Brazilian vanishes into the forest after staying in a musty, semi-abandoned inn in the haunted depths of the Brazilian countryside; a young playwright embarks on the production of a play about the city of Sevastopol and a Russian painter portraying Crimean War soldiers. Inspired by Tolstoy’s The Sevastopol Sketches, Emilio Fraia masterfully weaves together these stories of yearning and loss, obsession and madness, failure and the desire to persist, in a restrained manner reminiscent of Anton Chekhov, Roberto Bolano, and Rachel Cusk.

Book Synopsis Where the Bird Sings Best by : Alejandro Jodorowsky
Download or read book Where the Bird Sings Best written by Alejandro Jodorowsky and published by Restless Books. This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magnum opus from Alejandro Jodorowsky—director of The Holy Mountain, star of Jodorowsky’s Dune, spiritual guru behind Psychomagic and The Way of Tarot, innovator behind classic comics The Incal and Metabarons, and legend of Latin American literature. There has never been an artist like the polymathic Chilean director, author, and mystic Alejandro Jodorowsky. For eight decades, he has blazed new trails across a dazzling variety of creative fields. While his psychedelic, visionary films have been celebrated by the likes of John Lennon, Marina Abramovic, and Kanye West, his novels—praised throughout Latin America in the same breath as those of Gabriel García Márquez—have remained largely unknown in the English-speaking world. Until now. Where the Bird Sings Best tells the fantastic story of the Jodorowskys’ emigration from Ukraine to Chile amidst the political and cultural upheavals of the 19th and 20th centuries. Like One Hundred Years of Solitude, Jodorowsky’s book transforms family history into heroic legend: incestuous beekeepers hide their crime with a living cloak of bees, a czar fakes his own death to live as a hermit amongst the animals, a devout grandfather confides only in the ghost of a wise rabbi, a transgender ballerina with a voracious sexual appetite holds a would-be saint in thrall. Kaleidoscopic, exhilarating, and erotic, Where the Bird Sings Best expands the classic immigration story to mythic proportions. Praise “This epic family saga, reminiscent of Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude in structure and breadth, reads at a breakneck pace. Though ostensibly a novelization of the author's own family history, it is a raucous carnival of the surreal, mystical, and grotesque.” —Publishers Weekly "A man whose life has been defined by cosmic ambitions." —The New York Times Magazine "A great eccentric original....A legendary man of many trades.” —Roger Ebert For more information on Alejandro Jodorowsky, please visit www.restlessbooks.com/alejandro-jodorowsky

Download or read book Utopia Undone written by Kenton V. Stone and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With this ground-breaking book, Kenton V. Stone presents to North American readers one of the most intriguing writers to emerge out of Latin America in recent years, Uruguay's Carlos Martinez Moreno. Martinez Moreno started writing in the 1960s and achieved international reknown in 1981 when he was awarded Mexico's international fiction prize (by a panel including Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Julio Cortazar, and Ariel Dorfman) for his novel El color que el infierno me escondiera - a novel which, as the title suggests, takes the classic work of Dante Allighieri as its model. Stone's study of Martinez Moreno's novels has a dual purpose. The first purpose is to show that Martinez Moreno is a writer of the "Boom" in the Latin-American novel of the 1960s who deserves a revival in critical attention. The second purpose is to propose that new readings of his work extend beyond political protest to a study of Dantesque moral analysis - especially evident in El Infierno." "Once a utopian welfare state known to all as the "Switzerland of the Americas" for its democracy, pacifism, and prosperity, Uruguay succumbed to military rule in 1973. Martinez Moreno - along with compatriots Mario Benedetti, Eduardo Galeano, and Juan Carlos Onetti (among others) - had long predicted the demise of Uruguay's utopia in his novels. From 1973 until his death in exile, he took up the role of resisting - as novelist and attorney - what became the most ruthless regime of the "dirty wars" of Latin America in the 1970s, a regime that forced one-fifth of its citizens into prison or exile." "In Utopia Undone, Stone offers the reader an incisive analysis of Martinez Moreno's award-winning book and the novels that led up to its writing. He analyzes Martinez Moreno's works as they range from the Cuban revolution in El paredon (1963) to Bolivia's cocaine trade and Che Guevara in Coca (1968). Stone painstakingly points out the parallels between Martinez Moreno's craft and the deterioration of Uruguayan society, a process chronicled in his novels as la deca, "the decay." The reader is introduced to the Uruguayan author's life and times and how they were inevitably set on a collision course with what Roa Bastos calls Martinez Moreno's "revolutionary dream." Finally, Stone examines the end of Martinez Moreno's career - in exile in Mexico, bearing witness to Uruguay's largely overlooked diaspora with El Infierno, a monumental classic of the "literature of the disappeared" with a Dantesque devotion to truth and moral vision." "Utopia Undone was born in an interview Kenton V. Stone conducted with Martinez Moreno only months prior to the novelist's death in 1986 - the year Uruguay's democracy was restored."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
