En 'El insomnio de Bolívar', Jorge Volpi nos ofrece una reflexión inteligente y seductora sobre la historia de América Latina, desde su pasado mítico hasta su futuro imaginado. Este ensayo, ganador del II Premio Debate-Casa de América, examina el presente latinoamericano, explorando sus raíces y vislumbrando posibles desarrollos en la política, la sociedad y la literatura de la región. Con un estilo que escapa al tono académico, Volpi contribuye con humor, ironía y gran oficio literario a la comprensión del continente americano.
Jorge Volpi is a Mexican novelist and essayist, best known for his novels such as In Search of Klingsor . Trained as a lawyer, he gained notice in the 1990s with his first publications and participation in the pronouncement of the "Crack Manifesto" with several other young writers to protest the state of Mexican literature and promote their own work. Volpi's novels are distinct from magical realism and other trends of Latin American literature as they focus on the actions of characters and research into academic topics, especially history and science, and do not always focus on Latin American characters and settings. His work has been translated into twenty five languages and recognized with awards such as Biblioteca Breva Award and the Debate-Casa de América as well as a grant from the Guggenheim Foundation. In addition to his writing he has worked as a cultural attaché, the director of Canal 22 in the State of Mexico and is currently the director of the Festival Internacional Cervantino.
