Synopsis "Ensayos Completos (in Spanish)"

Éste es un volumen único, una compilación de historias verdaderas y personales, reflexiones sobre acontecimientos históricos, observaciones sobre obras pictóricas y literarias. Una lectura imprescindible de «uno de los más grandes escritores de nuestro tiempo», San Francisco Chronicle. En Ensayos completos se reúnen por primera vez todos los textos ensayísticos de Paul Auster, gran parte de ellos inéditos hasta ahora en castellano, como el prefacio esencial a la obra del polifacético Joe Brainard Me acuerdo o sus reflexiones sobre el 11-S, escritas pocas horas después de los atentados. Paul Auster posa su lúcida mirada sobre distintos aspectos de la realidad, recorre temas como la falta de vivienda o las protestas antibélicas, y nos descubre detalles de personalidades como Franz Kafka o Paul Celan, el funámbulo Philippe Petit o el historietista Art Spiegelman.
