  • Overview

    «En sentido literal, Villoro es un periodista y profesor de literatura mexicano. Pero cuando escribe de futbol esos títulos son insuficientes. Al abordar “el juego hermoso”, el autor es un poeta y un crítico, un filósofo y un historiador, un observador atento y un fan entregado», Kirkus Reviews.

    Las crónicas sobre futbol de Juan Villoro alternan el sabroso tono de la tertulia con la épica recuperación de los grandes lances: «El juego sucede dos veces, en la cancha y en la mente del público. Dios es redondo pretende situarse en esta encrucijada. No es un libro de historia del deporte ni una valoración de sus logros, sino una exploración narrativa de las pasiones que suscita».

    Dios es redondo obtuvo en Barcelona el Premio Internacional Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, que significó la consagración de su autor como cronista de la pasión futbolera y de los feligreses que renuevan su fe con cada gol. Aquí Villoro se adentra en el principal espectáculo del planeta y demuestra por qué la FIFA tiene más agremiados que la ONU. Un protagonista esencial de esta galería de retratos es Diego Armando Maradona, el más desaforado divo de las canchas.

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    “Literally speaking, Villoro is a Mexican journalist and literature professor. But when he writes about soccer, those titles are insufficient. In tackling ‘the beautiful game,’ the author becomes a poet and a critic, a philosopher and a historian, a keen observer and a devoted fan,” Kirkus Reviews.

    Juan Villoro’s chronicles of soccer alternate between the lively tone of conversation and the epic recovery of great plays: “The game happens twice, on the field and in the mind of the audience. Dios es redondo seeks to place itself at this crossroads. It is not a history of the sport nor an assessment of its achievements, but a narrative exploration of the passions it arouses.”

    Dios es redondo received the International Manuel Vázquez Montalbán Prize in Barcelona, marking the author’s consecration as a chronicler of soccer passion and of the faithful who renew their devotion with every goal. Here Villoro delves into the planet’s greatest spectacle and shows why FIFA has more members than the UN. A central figure in this gallery of portraits is Diego Armando Maradona, the most extravagant star of the pitch.
