Through a journey ranging from Alberdi and Sarmiento to Puig, Walsh, and Aira, Piglia traces a dazzling history of Argentine literature. The book includes four unpublished essays and conversations he held with figures such as María Moreno and Juan Sasturain, offering a unique look at the relationship between literature and film, journalism, and technology. An essential work for understanding the keys to Argentine narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRicardo Piglia proposes an original journey through the Argentine novel, from its origins in the 19th century to its most contemporary expressions. Based on the transcription and rewriting of his televised lectures, the author constructs four essays that explore the work of fundamental writers such as Macedonio Fernández, Roberto Arlt, Jorge Luis Borges, and Manuel Puig, among others. The analysis focuses specifically on the intersections between literature and other media: film, photography, journalism, and technology. In addition, the conversations Piglia held with María Moreno, Juan Sasturain, Ricardo Bartís, and Horacio González are reproduced, enriching the text with multiple perspectives. The book is not only a literary history but also a reflection on the ways of reading and transmitting the experience of reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistory of Argentine literature from the 19th century to the present.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between narrative and film, photography, and journalism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of the work of key authors: Sarmiento, Arlt, Borges, Puig, Aira, among others.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe transmission of the reading experience and the transformation of the academic format.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTravel, technology, and the archive as drivers of fiction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in Argentine literature and its critical history, students and teachers of literature, and followers of Ricardo Piglia's work.
