Esta bruma insensata / This Senseless Fog

Una fascinante meditación narrativa sobre la originalidad en la literatura, de la mano de uno de nuestros narradores más originales

En un caserón medio derruido de Cadaqués, Simon Schneider vive entregado al tranquilo oficio de proporcionar citas literarias a otros escritores, entre los que se cuenta su misterioso hermano Rainer, afincado desde hace años en Estados Unidos y convertido en un artista secreto como Thomas Pynchon. Sin embargo, todo se precipita un fin de semana de 2017, cuando Simon sale a dar un paseo en busca de inspiración y acaba repasando su historia de cara a la inminente visita de Rainer. El encuentro posterior pondrá de relieve dos maneras antagónicas de entender la creación literaria, así como una solución posible al problema de la originalidad, presentado en esta novela con deliciosa ironía y una brillante destreza narrativa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A fascinating narrative meditation on originality in literature, from one of our most original storytellers

In a half-collapsed mansion in Cadaqués, Simon Schneider lives dedicated to the quiet job of providing literary quotes to other writers, including his mysterious brother Rainer, who has lived in the United States for years and has become a secret artist like Thomas Pynchon. However, it all comes to a head one weekend in 2017, when Simon goes for a walk in search of inspiration and ends up reviewing his story in the face of Rainer's imminent visit. The subsequent encounter will highlight two antagonistic ways of understanding literary creation, as well as a possible solution to the problem of originality, presented in this novel with delicious irony and brilliant storytelling prowess.
