About the Book

El libro más personal de Castellanos Moya: breves apuntes y reflexiones que nos permiten conocer la intimidad de un escritor asolado por las dudas sobre sí mismo.

En este volumen, Castellanos Moya nos brinda sus dos extraordinarios cuadernos de apuntes, escritos en circunstancias muy distintas pero alentados por una misma voluntad: la del escritor que hurga en sí mismo para encontrar pistas que le ayuden a entender su forma de estar en el mundo. Cuaderno de Tokio (Los cuervos de Sangenjaya) fue fruto de una estadía de seis meses en Japón en 2009, y Cuaderno de Iowa (Envejece un perro tras los cristales) fue escrito entre 2011 y 2016, durante su estancia como profesor de escritura creativa en Estados Unidos, donde aún reside.

Aunque no se trata de diarios en el sentido estricto: a veces predomina en ellos la reflexión, el estado de ánimo y el trazo, antes que la anécdota del día a día. Mientras a través de la ventana de su apartamento toma conciencia del tiempo que pasa, asistimos a los deseos, las frustraciones y las manías de un autor que se exhibe a sí mismo, dudoso ante la esperanza de que una supuesta posteridad lo lea con la misma autocompasión con que dice haberse descrito a sí mismo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Castellanos Moya's most personal book: these are brief notes and reflections that invite us to intimately get to know a writer plagued by self-doubt.

In this volume, Castellanos Moya offers us two extraordinary notebooks, written in very different circumstances but encouraged by the same will: that of a writer who delves into himself to find clues that help him understand his place in the world. The Tokyo Notebook was the result of a six-month stay in Japan in 2009, and the Iowa Notebook was written between 2011 and 2016, during his stay as a creative writing professor in that city, where he still lives.

They are not diaries in the strict sense of the word: sometimes they are overcome by reflections and his moods, more so than anecdotes of everyday life. As he becomes aware of the time that passes through his apartment window, we are witness to the desires, frustrations, and fixations of an author who puts himself out there, hopeful that the future will see him with the same self-pity with which he claims to have described himself.


About the Author: Horacio Castellanos Moya, escritor salvadoreño nacido en 1957, es autor de doce novelas y varios libros de relatos y ensayos. Su primera novela, La diáspora (1989), obtuvo el Premio Nacional otorgado por la Universidad Centroamericana (UCA) de El Salvador. Su novela El asco. Thomas Bernhard en San Salvador (1997) dio lugar a controversias y amenazas que lo obligaron a abandonar su país. Fue editor de diarios, revistas y agencias de prensa, principalmente en Ciudad de México, donde vivió trece años; también ha residido en Costa Rica, Guatemala, Canadá, España y Japón.

Durante dos años fue escritor residente en un programa de la Feria Internacional del Libro de Frankfurt. Ha sido traducido a una docena de idiomas. El gobierno chileno le otorgó el Premio Iberoamericano de Narrativa Manuel Rojas 2014 por el conjunto de su obra.

Actualmente es profesor en la Universidad de Iowa. Sus novelas más recientes son La sirvienta y el luchador (2011), El sueño del retorno (2013) y Moronga (2018). Esta última inaugura la incorporación de Castellanos Moya a Literatura Random House. Este mismo sello recuperará otras obras del autor con la publicación de los ensayos La metamorfosis del sabueso (2011) y Cuaderno de Tokio. Los cuervos de Sangenjaya (2015), del libro de cuentos Con la congoja de la pasada tormenta (2009) y de las novelas La diáspora, El asco. Thomas Bernhard en San Salvador, La diabla en el espejo (2000), Desmoronamiento (2006) y Tirana memoria (2008).
