«Los rostros que tengo» is the memoir by Nélida Piñon, published by Alfaguara in paperback (296 pages, in Spanish).
A posthumous and previously unpublished work in which Nélida Piñon, the first woman to preside over the Brazilian Academy of Letters, stitches together her literary testament as a celebration of life. Through brief chapters reminiscent of a diary, she recalls her childhood between the Spanish and Portuguese languages, her passion for creation and her love of music and art, with memories of friends such as Gabriel García Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, Susan Sontag and Clarice Lispector, in a reflection on mortality and the power of words.
Posthumous and previously unpublished, the work is structured in 147 brief chapters. Includes translation by Roser Vilagrassa Sentís. The edition belongs to the Narrativa Internacional collection.
Aimed at readers of memoirs and Brazilian literature, as well as those who follow the work of Nélida Piñon or are interested in the literary figures who accompanied her.
Nélida Piñon was a Brazilian author and professor. At the time of her death, Piñon was "considered among the foremost writers in Brazil today".
