Synopsis "El Limonero Real (in Spanish)"

Desde que murió su hijo, Wenceslao también tiene que aprender a vivir sin su mujer. Toda la familia, excepto ella ―que no tiene nombre―, se reúne para celebrar el último día del año: una fiesta que dura todo el día y concluye con la cena de un cordero asado. Saer consigue dotar de ritualidad al tradicional banquete; a través del recuerdo, la muerte y la ausencia. Construye un lenguaje propio con una precisa definición de la realidad, en ese estilo cinematográfico que obliga a archivar imágenes en la memoria. Juan José Saer tardó nueve años en escribir El limonero real, considerada la novela de la luz y de la sombra, es una de las obras más aclamadas de la literatura hispanoamericana.

Juan José Saer (Santa Fe, 1937 - Paris, 2005) is one of the essential writers of Argentine literature and a key reference for new generations of readers. His work, considered on par with Borges, Beckett, and Bernhard, includes novels, short stories, essays, and poetry.
Set in the Litoral region of Santa Fe, his novels and stories create a literary universe where characters and their stories intertwine and reappear in different texts.
Based in France since 1968, he was a professor at the University of Rennes. Among the recognitions he received are the Nadal Prize (1987) for La ocasión, the France Culture (2003), and the Unione Latina di Letterature Romanze (2004). His legacy remains alive, and his work, translated into more than twenty languages, has been established as essential reading both within and outside the Spanish-speaking world.
