By Gonzalo Celorio

A lo largo de m s de cinco d cadas, ha consolidado una voz literaria de notable elegancia y hondura reflexiva en la que conjuga la lucidez cr tica con una sensibilidad narrativa... Su obra es al mismo tiempo una memoria del M xico moderno y un espejo de la condici n humana. --Fallo del jurado del Premio Cervantes 2025

El encuentro con grandes autores de la literatura latinoamericana. Unas memorias deliciosas repletas de humor y pasi n.

Entre la ficci n y el testimonio, el ensayo y la memoria, este libro da cuenta de algunas facetas de la vida de varios escritores a quienes Gonzalo Celorio tuvo la oportunidad de conocer y de tratar: Arreola, Cort zar, Rulfo, Fuentes, Monterroso, Garc a M rquez, Loynaz, Eco. Por encima de las indiscreciones, prevalece la admiraci n cr tica que Celorio les profesa; por encima del yo del autor, el protagonismo de los escritores; por encima de la an cdota dolorosa, pat tica o irrisoria, la valoraci n de sus obras, las literarias y las de la vida misma, que se funden en este libro cargado de pasi n literaria y tambi n de humor y de iron a.

P ginas deliciosas que invitan a la relectura.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Over more than five decades, he has consolidated a literary voice of remarkable elegance and profound reflection, in which he combines critical lucidity with a narrative sensitivity... His work is at once a memory of modern Mexico and a mirror of the human condition . --Jury's decision of the Miguel de Cervantes Prize 2025

The encounter with great authors of Latin American literature. Delightful memoirs filled with humor and passion.

Between fiction and testimony, essay and memory, this book reveals facets of the lives of several writers whom Gonzalo Celorio had the opportunity to meet and befriend: Arreola, Cort zar, Rulfo, Fuentes, Monterroso, Garc a M rquez, Loynaz, Eco. Beyond indiscretions, what prevails is the critical admiration that Celorio professes for them; beyond the author's own self, the prominence of the writers; beyond the painful, pathetic, or laughable anecdote, the appreciation of their works--both literary and of life itself--which merge in this book charged with literary passion as well as humor and irony.

Delightful pages that invite rereading.
