The Crossed-Out Notebook
Autor Nicolás Giacobone Traducere de Megan Mcdowellen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2024
Pablo, a failed Argentine novelist-turned-screenwriter, has been kidnapped by the greatest Latin American film director of all time and is kept in a basement where he works, day after day, on what he is told must at all costs be a great, world-changing screenplay. Every night, after finishing work on the script, Pablo writes in his notebook and every morning he crosses out what he wrote the night before. The Crossed-Out Notebook is Pablo’s diary of this time: being brought food by a maid; being threatened with a gun; vociferously arguing with the director about what he’s written the previous day.
The clash between the two men and their different approaches leads to a movie being made, a gun going off, an unlikely escape, and a final confrontation. In the end, The Crossed-Out Notebook is a darkly funny and “page-turning take on the conditions in which we can create” (Literary Hub) as well as a satirical ode to any artist whose brilliance shines through strangeness and adversity.
