Diary of Andres Fava

Diary of Andres Fava

Editorial Reviews
The New York Times Book Review, June 5, 2005
"A whirlwind voyage through Cortazar's mind."

Book Description

Diary of Andres Fava is all reflection: on his reading, his dreams, conversations and writing. This unpredictable journal is peppered with quotes from French poets and American jazzmen. Bemused and melancholy, erudite and searching, this irreverent gem is full of autobiographical winks at the reader and hints at themes and techniques Cortazar would continue to explore.

Julio Cortazar is one of the true giants of twentieth-century Latin American literature. Innovative, irreverent, playful and haunting, Cortazar's writing pushes at the boundaries of expression and makes accomplices of his readers.

Anne McLean's translation of Javier Cercas' Soldiers of Salamis won the 2004 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize and the Premio Valle Inclan.
