Synopsis "Las nubes (in Spanish)"

Viaje irónico, viaje sentimental, esta novela de Saer concentra en su peripecia los núcleos básicos de su escritura: sus ideas acerca del tiempo, el espacio, la historia y la poca fiabilidad de los instrumentos con que contamos -conciencia y memoria- para aprehender la realidad. Las nubes narra la historia de un joven psiquiatra que conduce a cinco locos hacia una clínica, viajando desde Santa Fe hasta Buenos Aires. Con él van treinta y seis personajes: locos, una escolta de soldados, baquianos y prostitutas, que atraviesan la pampa sorteando todo tipo de obstáculos. Allí se encuentran con Josecito, un cacique alzado, que toca el violín y ante quien uno de los locos predica la unidad de la raza americana. Esta falsa epopeya -tanto como la historia de nuestro país- transcurre en 1804, antes de las Invasiones Inglesas y de la Revolución de Mayo, un momento de nuestra historia en el cual no hay imagen del país ni nada está constituido.

Juan José Saer (Santa Fe, 1937 - Paris, 2005) is one of the essential writers of Argentine literature and a key reference for new generations of readers. His work, considered on par with Borges, Beckett, and Bernhard, includes novels, short stories, essays, and poetry.
Set in the Litoral region of Santa Fe, his novels and stories create a literary universe where characters and their stories intertwine and reappear in different texts.
Based in France since 1968, he was a professor at the University of Rennes. Among the recognitions he received are the Nadal Prize (1987) for La ocasión, the France Culture (2003), and the Unione Latina di Letterature Romanze (2004). His legacy remains alive, and his work, translated into more than twenty languages, has been established as essential reading both within and outside the Spanish-speaking world.
