About This Book

Conjunto de semblanzas y ensayos breves en los que el autor evoca con humor y melancolía sus primeros años en los círculos literarios, retratando compañeros, maestros y figuras culturales mediante anécdotas del Ateneo y del mundo editorial. Las piezas combinan crítica literaria, recuerdos personales y reflexiones sobre la arrogancia juvenil, la amistad intelectual y la inquietud por la posteridad, todo ello escrito con una voz irónica y autocrítica que alterna ternura y sátira.
