Читать книгу Fate - Jorge Consiglio - Страница 2

‘Employing a language that is sharp, concise and visceral, [Consiglio shows] his talent as a natural storyteller, a social chronicler, and as a poet of some refinement.’

Morning Star

‘His stories are told with dispassionate realism while being varnished with a surrealist gloss, creating his own in-between style (…). Poetic turns reminiscent of Pablo Neruda erupt within the narrative.’

Culture Trip

‘[Consiglio] carves out a singular space by focusing on characters who do not quite have a place of their own.’

Full Stop

‘Everyone should write with fury. Everyone should write like Jorge Consiglio.’

Ricardo Piglia

‘Consiglio is a robust writer, a writer who deeply interests me.’

Beatriz Sarlo

‘Fate is a book of beautiful human intensity.’

Flavia Pitella.

‘There is something indescribable in the meticulousness of the patience and beauty that Consiglio brings into play in his writing. Something impossible to put into words and which, therefore, can only be revealed in the fervour of enthusiasm.’

Eugenia Almeida

‘Fate deals with all those things that don’t last, the contrast between the permanence of objects and the things that vanish: a glance from a train, casual sex in a hotel, that word you wanted to say but couldn’t, a musical note; everything that won’t remain in a battle against that which will survive us: the city, the streets, the empty glass of beer.’

Gabriela Borrelli

‘Fate narrates what it’s like to meet someone and to build something from that encounter; what it’s like to leave somebody, to be left by someone and confirm the end of love. (…) Offering a crushing premise – “There are things that start by chance but never come to an end” – Fate narrates the way in which things happen and how each of us experiences that.’
