Overview

«Las mínimas certezas necesarias para pronunciar las tres palabras de Camus, “esto ha sucedido”, llevan varios años diluyéndose ante nuestros ojos. ¿Es posible saber cuándo comenzó lo que ahora vivimos?».

Durante los años recientes, Juan Gabriel Vásquez ha ofrecido en sus columnas para El País una mirada incisiva y crítica sobre los eventos que han trastocado nuestra sociedad y nuestros tiempos. El presente volumen reúne una selección de esos textos, en los que no sólo analiza los hechos, sino que también se aventura en una reflexión profunda sobre el rol de los ciudadanos en la construcción de la verdad y la memoria colectiva, además de señalarnos que el arte no es un lujo, sino una necesidad. Así, con plena lucidez, Vásquez nos recuerda la importancia de reconocer, observar y documentar la realidad.

«Comencé a escribir columnas de opinión a mediados de 2007», dice el autor en el prólogo. «En estos diecinueve años convulsos, el oficio de mirar el mundo desde la página de un periódico ha cambiado más de lo que nadie hubiera podido prever: ha cambiado el periodismo, por supuesto; ha cambiado lo que decimos cuando decimos opinión. Sobre todo, han cambiado nuestros materiales de trabajo: la realidad en la que nos movemos y nuestra capacidad de emitir juicios sobre ella.

»He dicho muchas veces que no hay dos maneras de contar el mundo más opuestas que la del novelista y la del columnista de prensa, pues el uno escribe a partir de la incertidumbre (escribe para descubrir) y el otro, en cambio, escribe a partir de una certeza y quiere compartirla (escribe para convencer). Hoy añadiré que las piezas de este libro quisieron convencer, desde luego, pero que el libro publicado ahora quiere conversar y comprender».

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"The minimum certainties necessary to utter Camus' three words, 'this has happened,' have been fading before our eyes for several years. Is it possible to know when what we are now experiencing began?"


In recent years, Juan Gabriel Vásquez has offered an incisive and critical view of the events that have disrupted our society and our times in his columns for El País. This volume brings together a selection of those texts, in which he not only analyzes the facts, but also ventures into a profound reflection on the role of citizens in the construction of truth and collective memory, as well as pointing out that art is not a luxury, but a necessity. Thus, with complete lucidity, Vásquez reminds us of the importance of recognizing, observing, and documenting reality.

"I began writing opinion columns in mid-2007," says the author in the prologue. "In these nineteen turbulent years, the craft of looking at the world from the pages of a newspaper has changed more than anyone could have predicted: journalism has changed, of course; what we mean when we say 'opinion' has changed. Above all, our working materials have changed: the reality in which we operate and our ability to pass judgment on it. I have often said that there are no two more opposite ways of describing the world than those of the novelist and the newspaper columnist, for one writes from uncertainty (writes to discover) and the other, on the contrary, writes from certainty and wants to share it (writes to convince). Today I would add that the pieces in this book certainly sought to convince, but that the book now published seeks to converse and understand."
