«Los buscadores de oro» is a book of literary memoirs by Augusto Monterroso, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (112 pages, in Spanish).
In these literary memoirs, Augusto Monterroso reviews his life trajectory and his relationship with writing without offering definitive conclusions: childhood, literature and destiny are treated with ambiguity and suggestion. The book also conveys the weight of his long exile in Mexico City, where he lived from 1944 until the end of his days.
The work is part of the Narrativas hispánicas collection, number 145, and appeared in Barcelona in its first edition of 1993.
May interest readers of Latin American narrative and those who appreciate Monterroso as a reference of the micro-story.
