Overview

«Mi trabajo consiste en tragar la realidad, digerirla, para luego reinventarla de acuerdo a las leyes de la fabulación literaria».

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 crítico. Reúne notas personales, reflexiones, artículos, columnas y pequeños 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.
 
Pero este libro es más 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 impúdicas, recoge las reflexiones del autor acerca de la violencia, la identidad y el contexto periférico de la literatura centroamericana; la segunda, La metamorfosis del sabueso, se centra en cavilaciones y reseñas sobre autores como Canetti, Kertész o Bolaño, y la tercera está dedicada a sus investigaciones sobre la obra de Kenzaburo Oé y su relación con la violencia. Es, en definitiva, un volumen que ilumina la obra narrativa de una de las grandes voces de la literatura centroamericana contemporánea.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“My job consists of swallowing reality, digesting it, and reinventing it according to the laws of literary imagination.”
 
The Hound’s Metamorphosis. Personal Essays and Other Texts is a masterful example of Horacio Castellanos Moya’s skill as an essayist and critical thinker. A collection of personal notes, reflections, articles, newspaper columns and short essays, it centers on the main themes that underly the author’s work as he attempts to reconcile his literary vocation with the violence that has marked his life.
 
This book is more than a literary treatise; it is a personal journal in which Castellanos Moya maps the voices that have influenced his writing.  It is divided into three parts: The first, Breves palabras impúdicas [A Few Indecent Words], contains reflections on violence, identity and the peripheral status of Central American literature. The second, The Hound’s Metamorphosis, is devoted to musings on authors such as Canetti, Kertész and Bolaño, while the third and final section examines the work of Kenzaburo Oé and its relationship to violence. It is a collection that showcases the talents of one of Central America’s great literary voices.
