Summary
«Uno de los escritores en lengua alemana más originales y exitosos de la segunda mitad del siglo xx.» La Vanguardia
En las afueras de Salzburgo, un profesor de lenguas muertas se entrega a una vida de mera contemplación: una vida muerta. Pero necesariamente las cosas han de suceder y avasallarnos, y nuestro protagonista, un día cualquiera, en un acto profundamente banal, es arrojado de nuevo a una vida en sociedad.
Este acto insignificante ¿ha sido quizá intencionado? Si Loser, consciente o inconscientemente, ha intervenido en el orden del mundo, la consecuencia es clara por mucho que la evite: se está fraguando una historia y toda historia ha de ser contada.
El chino del dolor, que condensa todo lo mejor de un autor clave para la literatura de las últimas décadas, nos ofrece un despiadado análisis del proceso creativo y del modo en que se observa e inmortaliza la realidad.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Nobel Prize in Literature 2019
“One of the most original and successful German-language writers of the second half of the twentieth century.” —La Vanguardia
On the outskirts of Salzburg, a professor of dead languages has a life of mere observation: a kind of dead life. But things must happen and overwhelm us at some point, and one given day, in an act so lacking in originality, our protagonist is thrown back into society.
Has this insignificant act happened intentionally? If Loser has, consciously or unconsciously, intervened in the world’s order of things, the consequence is clear no matter how much he avoids it: a story is being forged and every story has to be told.
The Painful Chinese, which embodies the best of such a key author for literature in recent decades, offers us a ruthless analysis of the creative process, and the way in which reality is observed and immortalized.
