Overview
Un andar solitario entre la gente es la historia de un caminante que escribe siempre a lápiz, recortando y pegando cosas, recogiendo papeles por la calle, en la estela de artistas que han practicado el arte del collage, la basura y el reciclaje —como Diane Arbus o Dubuffet—, así como la de los grandes caminantes urbanos de la literatura: de Quincey, Baudelaire, Poe, Joyce, Walter Benjamin, Melville, Lorca, Whitman… A la manera de Poeta en Nueva York, de Lorca, la narración de Un andar solitario entre la gente está hecha de celebración y denuncia: la denuncia del ruido extremo del capitalismo, de la conversión de todo en mercancía y basura; y la celebración de la belleza y la variedad del mundo, de la mirada ecológica y estética que recicla la basura en fertilidad y arte.
«Me gusta la literatura que me trastorna y me embriaga como vino o música, que me saca de mí, que me fuerza a leerla en voz alta y a favorecer su contagio, que me explica el mundo y me pone en pie de guerra con el mundo y me refugia de él y me revela con la misma vehemencia todo su horror y toda su belleza.»

"I like literature that upsets and intoxicates me like wine or music, that takes me out of myself, that forces me to read it aloud and to encourage its contagion, that explains the world to me and puts me on a war footing with the world and shelters me from it and reveals to me with the same vehemence all its horror and all its beauty."This book title, Un andar solitario entre la gente / A Lonely Walk Among The People, ISBN: 9786073910538, by Antonio Muñoz Molina, published by Planeta Publishing Corp (May 28, 2024) is available in paperback.
