Desde el primer cuento hasta la ultima novela, la literatura de Javier Marias esta marcada por lo espectral, eje fundamental en torno al cual se despliegan las grandes cuestiones del universo mariense: los efectos que el conocimiento y el desconocimiento tienen sobre la interpretacion de la realidad, la relacion entre lo real y su registro, las maneras en que el pasado sobrevive en el presente. Este libro, el primer estudio que enfoca la obra de Marias bajo una perspectiva sociologica e historica, relaciona las multiples experiencias del espectro con las tensiones entre el olvido y la memoria que caracterizan a la sociedad espanola contemporanea.
From his first short-story to his latest novel, Javier Marias’s narrative is haunted by the spectral, a fundamental axis around which Marias deploys the fundamental questions of his literary universe: the effects of knowledge and ignorance on the interpretation of reality, the relation between the real and its representation, and the ways in which the past survives in the present. This book-length study, the first to focus on Marias’s oeuvre with a sociological and historical perspective, brings into relation the multiple spectral experiences and the tension between oblivion and memory that characterize contemporary Spanish society.
