Antología personal

NARRATIVE. FONDO DE CULTURA ECONÓMICA, 2014. 298 PAGES.

The texts that Ricardo Piglia has selected for this anthology are extremely varied and feature many different styles and registers. Written over a period of almost fifty years, they include fictions, essays, public statements and autobiographical tales, several of which have never been published before, that chronicle imaginary experiences. Together, they offer a new, genuinely personal, intimate and enigmatic approach to Piglia’s literature and works. Describing the book in his own words, Piglia says: “If there is a framework, a dark autobiographical thread, encoded in the work – as this book represents me more faithfully than any other I’ve published – then one can imagine a future reader acting as an amateur literary sleuth, discovering not just a general shape but also the secrets woven into this personal anthology.”
