«De Sobremesa» is the novel by José Asunción Silva, published by Panamericana Editorial in paperback (264 pages, in Spanish).
De Sobremesa takes the form of a diary: José Fernández, an artist and dandy, reads his notes to his friends after dinner. The reading takes place in America and the story, in Europe. Silva reconstructed the text from memory after losing his manuscripts in the shipwreck of the steamer Amèrique; the work is a key piece for understanding Modernism.
The work was originally published in 1925 and is part of the Letras Latinoamericanas collection from Panamericana Editorial.
For readers of literature and fiction interested in Latin American classics and the origins of Modernism.
