El Jardín de Al Lado / The Garden Next Door

Autor José Donoso
es Limba Spaniolă Paperback – 21 iun 2022
Una novela única en clave autoficcional sobre los egos revueltos del boom de la literatura latinoamericana.

Publicada en 1981, cuando José Donoso iniciaba su regreso a Chile, El jardín de al lado es una novela sobre el fracaso, aunque también sobre la salvación. Julio Méndez, novelista chileno ya en la cincuentena, exiliado en España y obsesionado por un éxito que no llega, se debate con su ansiedad y sus intuiciones sobre la propia mediocridad, al tiempo que se ve atormentado por las figuras de una todopoderosa agente literaria y del máximo escritor de su tiempo. Desgarrada y tragicómica, cotidiana y patética, la novela explora los laberintos de la marginalidad interior, así como el destierro, las miserias físicas y las ambigüedades del deseo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A Chilean writer named Julio and his wife Gloria are beset by worries, constantly bickering about money, their writing, and their son (who may or may not be plying the oldest trade in Marrakesh).

When Julio's boyhood best friend, now a famous artist, lends the couple his luxurious Madrid apartment for the summer, it is an escape for both - in particular for Julio, who fantasizes about the garden next door and the erotic life of the lovely young aristocrat who inhabits it. But Julio's life and career unravel in Madrid: he is rebuffed by a famous literary agent, who detests him and his novel; his son's friend from Marrakesh moves in and causes havoc; and Gloria begins to drink. In the face of pitiless adversity, Julio's talent inexorably begins to fade. With The Garden Next Door, Jose Donoso has rendered a carefully crafted and bitterly comic meditation on gardens, deceit, and the nature of a writer's muse.
