Commentary During Books Adam Buenosayres: A Critical Edition

A modernist urban novel in the tradition of James Joyce, Adam Buenosayres is a tour-de-force that does for Buenos Aires what Carlos Fuentes did for Mexico City or José Lezama Lima did for Havana - chronicles a city teeming with life in all its clever and crass, rude and intelligent forms. Employing a range of literary styles and a variety of voices, Leopoldo Marechal parodies and celebrates Argentina's most brilliant literary and artistic generation, the martinfierristas of the 1920s, among them Jorge Luis Borges.

First published in 1948 during the polarizing reign of Juan Perón, the novel was hailed by Julio Cortázar as an extraordinary event in twentieth-century Argentine literature. Set over the course of three break-neck days, Adam Buenosayres follows the protagonist through an apparent metaphysical awakening, a battle for his soul fought by angels and demons, and a descent through a place resembling a comic version of Dante's hell.

Presenting both a breathtaking translation and thorough explanatory notes, Norman Cheadle captures the limitless language of Marechal's original and guides the reader along an unmatched journey through the culture of Buenos Aires. This first-ever English translation brings to light Marechal's masterwork with an introduction outlining the novel's importance in various contexts - Argentine, Latin American, and world literature - and with notes illuminating its literary, cultural, and historical references.

A salient feature of the Argentine canon, Adam Buenosayres is both a path-breaking novel and a key text for understanding Argentina's cultural and political history.

An obscure, forgotten classic...

Definitivamente, terminé este libro enamorada de cada una de sus páginas. Les dejo una entrada en mi blog, que poco a poco estoy rotamando, por si quieren más detalles de mi comprensión de la obra. http://librosagridulces.blogspot.com/...Pero básicamente mi primer acercamiento a este libro fue una mierda, porque no entendía ni una de sus palabras... lo dejé al terminar el primer capítulo. Hoy, que lo retomé gracias a una profesora, que nos explicó de manera hermosa la majestuosidad de esta obra,

Reading this for an article I'm picturing now. +600 pages. I wonder if I'll make it on time...Change of plans.

He half opened his eyes; through the lashes he sensed the darkness thinning, an inchoate clarity, a hint of light filtering through the dense curtain. Before Adams eyes, in the illegible chaos filling the room, colours started gathering and pushing each other aside, and lines began to attract or repel one another. Each object sought its sign and materialized after a quick, silent war. As on its first day, the world sprang forth from love and hate (Hail, old Empedocles!), and the world was a

"Al escribir mi Adán Buenosayres no entendí salirme de la poesía. Desde muy temprano, y basándome en la Poética de Aristóteles, me pareció que todos los géneros literarios eran y deben ser géneros de la poesía, tanto en lo épico, lo dramático y lo lírico. Para mí, la clasificación aristotélica seguía vigente, y si el curso de los siglos había dado fin a ciertas especies literarias, no lo había hecho sin crear 'sucedáneos' de las mismas. Entonces fue cuando me pareció que la novela, género

Interesting book. 4 stars for English edition with excellent foot notes explicating both novel & Argentine history.

DNF. The anti-semitic tone did me in
