Synopsis "El Viento Ligero en Parma (in Spanish)"

Un viaje a través de la literatura, cuyo guía, más que el propio Vila-Matas, es la certeza de su conciencia, su memoria y su saber literarios. Este conjunto de ensayos, relatos y reflexiones sobre escritores, libros, películas, anécdotas y lugares, es un recorrido circular por el filo de la frontera que separa la ficción de la realidad, donde la ficción y la realidad se confunden, donde la ficción y la realidad son la vida misma. Vila-Matas nos va narrando con una prosa suave y desenfadada sus impresiones sobre escritores como Bolaño, Gombrowicz, Beckett, Pitol, Pessoa, el pintor Vicente Rojo, etcétera, al mismo tiempo que se va apropiando de todos ellos, haciéndolos parte de su cotidianidad, la única cotidianidad que puede ser vivida por este escritor: la literatura.
