Overview

Javier Marías realiza retratos breves de sus escritores preferidos en lengua española.

«Marías es sencillamente asombroso». -Ali Smith

«Javier Marías es un escritor maravilloso». -John Banville

El origen de Miramientos se encuentra en el apéndice «Artistas perfectos», que cierra el libro Vidas escritas. En él, Javier Marías comentaba los retratos fotográficos de treinta y siete autores, todos extranjeros y todos muertos. La exclusión ahí de escritores en español lo llevó a escribir para la revista Cuadernos Cervantes los comentarios a los retratos de Valle-Inclán, Borges, Aleixandre, Benet, Bioy Casares, García Lorca, Victoria Ocampo, Fernando Savater, Cabrera Infante, Neruda, Mendoza, Martínez Sarrión, Cernuda y Quiroga, y a recogerlos, posteriormente y junto a otros retratos, en este volumen que completa con un «Autorretrato farsante» dedicado a sí mismo, una tentación que, como el propio Javier Marías reconoce, no pudo evitar, pero a la que intentó enfrentarse con el mismo «miramiento».

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Javier Marías profiles a selection of his favorite Spanish-language authors

This book has its origins in “Perfect Artists,” the appendix to Javier Marías’s Written Lives, which profiles thirty-seven authors, all of them foreign and all of them dead. The absence from that list of any authors writing in Spanish led him to publish a new collection of profiles in Cuadernos Cervantes magazine, featuring Valle-Inclán, Borges, Aleixandre, Benet, Bioy Casares, García Lorca, Victoria Ocampo, Fernando Savater, Cabrera Infante, Neruda, Mendoza, Martínez Sarrión, Cernuda and Quiroga. These descriptions and more are collected in this volume, accompanied by a “fake self-portrait” of the author - for, as Marías observes, he could not resist the temptation to turn the same “gaze” on himself.

The book, Miramientos / Gazes [Bulk, Wholesale, Quantity] ISBN#9788420476186 in Paperback by Javier Marías may be ordered in bulk quantities. Minimum starts at 25 copies. Availability based on publisher status and quantity being ordered.
