Synopsis "La Forma Inicial (in Spanish)"

La forma inicial es una síntesis brillante de una vida entregada a la literatura, como escritor y lector: la de Ricardo Piglia. En este compendio de diálogos o conversaciones se resumen muchos de los temas que Piglia ha tratado a lo largo de su carrera docente en la Universidad de Princeton: el problema de la interpretación y el sentido de la obra; la cuestión del tono; la frontera entre los géneros narrativos; el valor del género epistolar; la relación de lo narrativo con la tragedia clásica (hybris / pathos), con el fragmentarismo, el cine, la revolución cubana o la globalización; el género de la novela policiaca negra; la metaficción y la posición de la literatura frente a los medios masivos de comunicación.

Ricardo Piglia (Adrogué, 1941-Buenos Aires, 2017) is unanimously considered a classic of current Spanish-language literature. He published his five novels at Anagrama: Artificial Respiration, The Absent City, Burnt Money (adapted into film by Marcelo Piñeyro; Planeta Prize Argentina), Nocturnal Target (Critics' Prize, Rómulo Gallegos Prize, International Dashiell Hammett Novel Prize, and José María Arguedas Casa de las Américas Narrative Prize) and The Path of Ida; the stories of The Invasion, False Name, Perpetual Prison and The Cases of Commissioner Croce; and the texts of Brief Forms (Bartolomé March Critic's Prize), Criticism and Fiction, The Last Reader, and Personal Anthology, which can be read as the first essays and attempts at a future autobiography, which crystallizes in The Diaries of Emilio Renzi, divided into three volumes. Piglia was also awarded the Grand Prize of Honor of the Argentine Writers Society, the José Donoso, the Ibero-American Narrative Manuel Rojas, the Konex, and the Formentor de las Letras. The critical reception of this author in Spain was truly exceptional: "Spectacular landing" (Ignacio Echevarría, El País); "One of the most lucid minds in the current Latin Hispanic American scene, not only Argentine" (Joaquín Marco, El Mundo); "There are few necessary writers who are demonstrating, today, the vitality of their intellectual proposals" (Jordi Carrión, Avui); "Ricardo Piglia, the classic rebel" (J. A. Masoliver Ródenas, La Vanguardia)
