Overview
MILLÁS EN ESTADO DE GRACIA. UNA HISTORIA DE AMISTAD EN EL LÍMITE DE LO REAL
«Juan José Millás es dueño de un territorio fantástico de incuestionable -personalidad». -J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El País
«Cerrar un círculo, otro círculo. De eso se trataba, ¿no?, de cerrar círculos».
Un escritor que curiosamente responde al nombre de Juan José Millás recibe el encargo del periódico en el que colabora para escribir el que, cree, puede ser su último reportaje. Por ello debe pensar con cuidado el tema que sirva de broche de oro a toda una carrera. La búsqueda del reportaje perfecto despierta en su interior el recuerdo de un episodio de su pasado, envuelto en la niebla entre la realidad y lo imaginado, que lo sitúa frente a una parte de su vida olvidada en el devenir de los años. ¿Qué ocurrió con el director de la sucursal del Banco Hispano Americano al que fue a visitar una mañana de su infancia junto a su madre? ¿Y con su amigo de la universidad, Alberto?
Juan José Millás aborda en esta historia, divertida y honda al tiempo, el misterio de la identidad, los límites de la ficción y el poder de la literatura para dar forma a lo real. Ese imbécil va a escribir una novela supone un salto mortal de Millás como narrador, que juega con el lector en estas páginas como un ilusionista, un mago de la palabra, un deslumbrante prestidigitador.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
MILLÁS IN A STATE OF GRACE. A STORY OF FRIENDSHIP ON THE VERGE OF REALITY.
“Juan José Millás owns a fantasy territory of unquestionable personality.” —J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El País
“Coming full circle, another full circle. That was the whole point, wasn’t it? Coming full circle.”
A writer who, strangely enough, answers to the name Juan José Millás, gets an assignment by the newspaper he collaborates with to write what he thinks could be his final story. Therefore, he must consider his subject carefully to end his career on a high note. His quest for the perfect story awakens inside him the memory of a past episode, clouded by the mist between reality and the imaginary, which makes him face a part of his life forgotten over the years. What happened to the director of the Hispanic American Bank branch he visited with his mother one morning, as a child? And what happened to his friend from college, Alberto?
In this fun and, at the same time, profound story, Juan José Millás addresses the mystique of identity, the limits of fiction, and literature’s power to shape reality. That Imbecile Is Going to Write a Novel constitutes a somersault by Millás as a narrator, playing with his readers as if he were an illusionist, a mage of words, a dazzling conjurer.
