«Póquer de ases» is the literary essay by Manuel Vicent, published by Alfaguara in paperback (328 pages, in Spanish).
Manuel Vicent builds a gallery of «radiografías» of great contemporary writers: brief portraits that reveal with irony the imprint of their work on collective memory. Samuel Beckett, Graham Greene, Joseph Conrad, Jorge Luis Borges, Dorothy Parker, Scott Fitzgerald, Franz Kafka, Adolfo Bioy Casares and Virginia Woolf parade from an image, an obsession or a trait of each one's creative universe.
The volume, of 328 pages, includes illustrations by Fernando Vicente. Manuel Vicent was awarded the Lletraferit Prize for Valencian Culture 2021.
Recommended for readers of literary essays, criticism and biographies of writers, and for those who follow the work of Manuel Vicent.
