OBRA CANDIDATA AL PREMIO EUSKADI DE ENSAYO EN CASTELLANO.
Estamos ante un libro fuera de serie por bigámico, solícito y osado. Un libro que es escritura de escrituras y que se podría decir que esta escrito al alimón aunque conserve el perfil singular de cada autor. Un libro transitado por dos miradas enamoradas de la palabra que intentan dar testimonio de aquellos momentos en que la literatura es esencial, audaz, alimenticia, necesaria.

L'histoire de l'humanité, jusqu'à très récemment, a été une vaste entreprise d'archivage-une lutte contre la faillibilité de la mémoire humaine et les mâchoires oblitératrices de l'Histoire. Or, depuis quelques décennies, nous nous sommes dotés de technologies nous permettant de ne plus jamais oublier, voire de ne plus pouvoir oublier. Pourtant notre mémoire collective semble de plus en plus dispersée, de moins en moins enracinée. Et...

LONGSimilar to previous submissions the new book offering ie PLASTIC SPOON has been written with the idea! That if the masses are made aware of what's actually going on around the world, then perhaps more people will take up the gauntlet and make some noise. On many a subject matter, people will no doubt disagree with what's been written, which is their prerogative. The motivation for writing this book is not to dictate or indeed influence the reader....

Con el tiempo, los seres humanos fuimos acumulando sueños y pesadillas. Ignoro si la eternidad es un anhelado sueño o una infausta pesadilla, pero volver a recorrer el camino que nos llevó a concebirla, quizás nos ayude a ver un poco más claro en esta nebulosa.Desprender la idea de eternidad de la Teología cristiana es virtualmente imposible: nació con ella. Es sabido que entre los judíos no existe la superstición de una vida eterna.Jahveh...

El suplicio de Túpac Amaru, la investigación policial detrás del crimen de Edipo, la furia de un dios desdeñado, las tentaciones de Gustave Flaubert convertidas en pura poesía, la metamorfosis del asno romano...

El tiempo ya enseñó muchas cosas que ni siquiera la sucesión intangible de minutos, días, meses y años, logra llevar al olvido, que para los griegos (¿en qué ya no se nos anticiparon los griegos?) era un río -Leteo- cuyo cauce separaba la vida de la muerte, que era olvido.Desistí voluntariamente del deseo de otorgar orden a este caos de escritos que padecen del mismo desorden que mis ideas.
