Queridos amigos:

Espero verlos el próximo jueves 11 de enero de 2018, 20:00 hrs. Galería de Jorge Carroza, Nueva Costanera N 3729, Vitacura, será un placer conversar de literatura en una tarde veraniega en Santiago.
Un abrazo,

I am also a writer, and have written a short stories book, El descorazonamiento, and a novel, Una sombra en la noche. Moreover, I also like to translate. From English, I have translated J. M. Coetzee’s Two Elizabeth Costello Lessons and Julian Barnes’s In the Land of Pain; and, from French, Alphonse Daudet’s La Doulou. I also edited these translations and wrote the introductions for them.
I also like to write essays and reviews occasionally. I recently wrote an essay on Jorge Edwards’s Late Style for Revista Universitaria and a review of Aquellos años del Boom, the most important book on the phenomenon to have appeared in the Spanish speaking world.
My new project, which is in its early stages, is a book of conversations with the Chilean writer Jorge Edwards, winner of the Cervantes Prize, in which I am working with Chilean Scholar Dr. Roberto Hozven. It is to be published by Fondo de Cultura Económica in 2018.

Research interests
I am a literary critic and scholar with interests in varied areas: my DPhil thesis is on the work of J.M. Coetzee, especially his Late Style, the idea of the South and the possibility of an Hispanic element therein, and my MA thesis was a comparative study of L. N. Tolstoy’s Childhood, Adolescence, Youth and Coetzee’s Scenes from Provincial Life. I am also interested in the Literatures of the South and the inclusion of the Literature of the South Cone in it, especially the works of Pablo Neruda and Jorge Luis Borges as early Latin American examples of writers of the “Global South”; the writers of the Latin American Boom as public intelectuals, especially Jorge Edwards and Mario Vargas Llosa and their political shift; the work of Julian Barnes and his interest in fin-de-siècle French writers, especially Gustave Flaubert and Alphonse Daudet; the Literatures of the Self, especially the idea of l’espace autobiographique in Philippe Lejeune; and the relationship between Literature and other art forms, notably Cinema and Music (especially in the works of Thomas Mann, Vladimir Nabokov, Luchino Visconti, Benjamin Britten and Richard Wagner).I am also a writer, and have written a short stories book, El descorazonamiento, and a novel, Una sombra en la noche. Moreover, I also like to translate. From English, I have translated J. M. Coetzee’s Two Elizabeth Costello Lessons and Julian Barnes’s In the Land of Pain; and, from French, Alphonse Daudet’s La Doulou. I also edited these translations and wrote the introductions for them.
