Synopsis "UNA LUNA. DIARIO DE HIPERVIAJE (in Spanish)"

La idea del hiperviaje nace aquí: cuando Caparrós se da cuenta de que en veintiocho días —Una luna— ha recorrido ocho países en tres continentes, como quien cliquea los hipervínculos de una página web. Viajaba para contar historias de migraciones y destierros: desde ese muchacho que vio cómo se comían a su abuela en la frontera de Liberia hasta la muchacha embarazada vendida por su marido a un traficante en Moldavia, pasando por el mara salvadoreño avergonzado por haber violado a una mujer o la mujer zambiana contagiada de sida por un marido putañero y los diversos intentos de cruzar el Mediterráneo en botes torpes. En esta breve luna las historias se suceden y se entrecruzan, hiladas por el viaje y las reflexiones del cronista.

Durante años, Caparrós prefirió no publicar este libro y lo reservó para sus amigos más queridos. Quizá tenía razón: Una luna es un objeto extraño, un contraste entre mundos, una trompada en la mandíbula, una cumbre del género.

Martín Caparrós (Buenos Aires, 1957) graduated in history in Paris, lived in Madrid and New York, directed book and cooking magazines, traveled half the world, translated Voltaire, Shakespeare, and Quevedo, received the Planeta Prize Latin America, the King of Spain award and the Guggenheim fellowship. At Anagrama, the novels To whom it may concern: "Necessary. It makes the ground tremble a little while we read it. And once closed, the ground continues to tremble" (Juan Bonilla, El Mundo); The Living (Herralde Novel Award 2011): "Dazzling. Major and definitive work" (Joaquín Marco, El Mundo); I Ate: "A feast of digression and style" (J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El País); "Honest and coherent, politically incorrect and alien to verbosity, to cliché or to easy ideological wink" (Iñaki Ezquerra, El Correo); and Echeverría; the chronicles of One Moon: "The best current chronicler of Latin America: a superb interviewer, a traveler endowed with encyclopedic culture and a fine irony" (Roberto Herrscher, La Vanguardia); and Against Change. A hypervoyage to the climate apocalypse: "A strong reagent for sensitive souls or friends of the politically correct" (Leila Guerriero, El País); "Convinces as much as it seduces" (E. Paz Soldán, La Tercera, Chile); and the essay The Hunger: "Much more than an essay, much more than a novel, because Caparrós uses literature to accompany us to a hell made of a reality that is often only given distracted attention" (Roberto Saviano); "A book that will surely be important. A book that was missing" (Agustín Fernández Mallo, El Mundo)
