In this book, Ricardo Piglia, one of the most prominent Argentine authors, presents us with a treatise on poetics in the form of conversations. Through a map of reality as seen by the author, tribute is paid to Faulkner, and texts by Arlt, Borges, and Cortázar are examined with lucidity. Piglia reflects on the detective genre, narration in cinema, editorial work, and his beginnings as a writer, as well as the state's use of language and the secret tension between the novel and the machinations of power. This work is an essential facet of a writer who has been a great revelation for Spanish readers.
Ricardo Piglia was an Argentine author, critic, and scholar best known for introducing hard-boiled fiction to the Argentine public.
