Overview
La metamorfosis del sabueso. Ensayos personales y otros textos es una gran muestra de la calidad de Horacio Castellanos Moya como ensayista y de la sagacidad de su pensamiento crĆtico. ReĆŗne notas personales, reflexiones, artĆculos, columnas y pequeƱos ensayos: piezas que, pivotando alrededor de los grandes temas que atraviesan la obra del autor, persiguen la confluencia del ensayo literario con la historia de violencia que ha marcado su vida.
Ā
Pero este libro es mĆ”s que un tratado literario. Es un cuaderno personal en el que el autor despliega el mapa de voces que han marcado su escritura y su trayectoria como lector. Dividido en tres partes, la primera, Breves palabras impĆŗdicas, recoge las reflexiones del autor acerca de la violencia, la identidad y el contexto perifĆ©rico de la literatura centroamericana; la segunda, La metamorfosis del sabueso, se centra en cavilaciones y reseƱas sobre autores como Canetti, KertĆ©sz o BolaƱo, y la tercera estĆ” dedicada a sus investigaciones sobre la obra de Kenzaburo OĆ© y su relaciĆ³n con la violencia. Es, en definitiva, un volumen que ilumina la obra narrativa de una de las grandes voces de la literatura centroamericana contemporĆ”nea.
