André Aciman, página 2 de 4

The bestselling author of Find Me and Call Me by Your Name returns to the essay form with this collection of thoughts on time, the creative mind, and great lives and works. The irrealis mood knows no boundaries between what is and what isn't, between what happened and what won't. In more ways than one, the essay about the artists, writers, and great minds gathered in this volume have nothing to do with who I am, or who they were, and my reading of them may be entirely erroneous. But I misread them the better to read myself. From meditations on subway poetry and the temporal resonances of an empty Italian street, to considerations of the lives and work of Sigmund Freud, Constantine Cavafy, W. G. Sebald, John Sloan, Éric Rohmer, Marcel Proust, and Fernando Pessoa, and portraits of cities such as Alexandria and St. Petersburg, Homo Irrealis is a deep reflection of the imagination's power to shape our memories under time's seemingly intractable hold.

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Call Me by Your Name and Find Me, a memoir of an extraordinary life. '[A] mesmerizing portrait of a now vanished world. Aciman's story of Alexandria is the story of his own family, a Jewish family with Italian and Turkish roots that tied its future to Egypt and made its home there for three generations, only to find itself peremptorily expelled by the Government in the early 1960's.It is the story of a fractious clan of dreamers and con men and the emotional price they would pay for exile, the story of a young boy's coming of age and his memories of the city he loved in his youth. Writing in lucid, lyrical prose, Mr. Aciman does an exquisite job of conjuring up the daily rhythms and rituals of his family's life: their weekly trips to the movies, their daily jaunts to the beach, their internecine squabbles over everything from religion to money to the pronunciation of words.There are some wonderfully vivid scenes here, as strange and marvelous as something in Garcia Marquez, as comical and surprising as something in Chekhov.' Michiko Kakutani, New York TimesAciman's latest novel, Find Me, is now available for preorder in paperback.

From a youthful infatuation with a cabinet maker in a small Italian fishing village, to a passionate yet sporadic affair with a woman in New York, to an obsession with a man he meets at a tennis court,Enigma Variationscharts one man's path through the great loves of his life. Paul's intense desires, losses and longings draw him closer, not to a defined orientation, but to an understanding that 'heartache, like love, like low-grade fevers, like the longing to reach out and touch a hand across the table, is easy enough to live down'.André Aciman casts a shimmering light over each facet of desire, to probe how we ache, want and waver, and ultimately how we sometimes falter and let go of the very ones we want the most. We may not know what we want. We may remain enigmas to ourselves and to others. But sooner or later we discover who we've always known we were.

EL NUEVO LIBRO DEL AUTOR DE LLÇMAME POR TU NOMBRE Y LEJOS DE EGIPTO, GANADOR DEL WHITING AWARD Y EL LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD, TRADUCIDO A 38 IDIOMAS Y ACLAMADO POR LA CRÍTICA Y LOS LECTORES "Si Proust no hubiera existido, Aciman lo habria inventado". Richard Bernstein, The New York Times "Un libro brillante de un escritor que nunca decepciona". Kirkus Reviews ¿Cuanto de nosotros se borra con el paso del tiempo? ¿Cuanto se queda en los lugares amados? ¿Puede uno regresar a un sitio que nunca existio mas alla de su mente? En Homo irrealis, Andre Aciman nos invita a acompañarlo al territorio de sus recuerdos en un viaje por lugares queridos como Alejandria, Roma, Paris, San Petersburgo o Nueva York, habitados por las presencias fantasmales de artistas y escritores admirados. De la mano de Proust, Freud, Cavafis, Pessoa, Rohmer, Sebald y muchos mas, el autor explora el tiempo irrealis: el del hombre que podria haber sido y no fue, todo lo que podria haber pasado y no paso, pero que aun podria pasar y esta en un limbo entre la fantasia y la realidad.

Érase una vez un hombre que quería convencer a su hijo de las ventajas de estudiar en la Universidad de Harvard. Y le contó una especie de fábula; la historia de su paso por el campus; en realidad, lo que le sucedio un caluroso verano, alla en los años setenta, mientras se preparaba para los examenes finales del curso de doctorado. Cierto dia se le ocurrio entrar en un cafetin de ambiente afrofrances y alli se topo con un personaje realmente singular, un tunecino extravagante, vestido como el Che Guevara, que estaba esperando que le concedieran el permiso de residencia, trabajaba de taxista, despotricaba contra todo y se acostaba con todas las mujeres que se le ponian a tiro.Harvard Square cuenta la historia de una amistad entrañable, desgarradora, divertida y conmovedora entre dos hombres contrapuestos: un judio y un arabe, un erudito y un picaro, un timido y un tipo mas listo que el hambre, un hombre con porvenir y un hombre sin nada mas que mi taxi, mi nabo y mi dignidad. Los dos tienen el mismo pasado, se identifican y se oponen, y su relacion obliga al protagonista a replantearse continuamente quien es quien y sobre todo quien y que es el. Pero es tambien una historia al modo de Proust sobre el paso implacable del tiempo, sobre la recuperacion de la identidad y sobre la nostalgia de un pasado que nos ha ...

En Lejos de Egipto, André Aciman rememora su infancia en la espléndida y multicultural Alejandría y las peripecias de su excéntrica familia, judíos sefarditas con raíces turcas e italianas, desde su llegada a la ciudad a principios de siglo hasta su expulsion en la decada de los sesenta, cuando el autor era adolescente. Un clan compuesto por figuras tan carismaticas como inclasificables: el tio Vili, exsoldado fanfarron, fascista italiano y espia britanico; las dos abuelas, la santa y la princesa, capaces de chismorrear en seis idiomas, incluido el ladino; la madre, Gigi, una mujer sorda de armas tomar; o la tia Flora, refugiada alemana que no cesa de recordar que los judios perderan cuanto poseen al menos dos veces en la vida.Comicas y exquisitas, con delicados ecos proustianos, estas hermosas memorias, construidas a la manera de las grandes sagas familiares, consiguen envolver al lector con una historia y unos protagonistas inolvidables. Lejos de Egipto, el libro mas querido de su autor y seguramente el mas emblematico, es una vivida y melancolica evocacion de la infancia como paraiso perdido, y de los perfumes y melodias de un luminoso mundo que el lector tampoco querra abandonar.
