A detailed and lively discussion and analysis of the novels, short
stories, newspaper columns, and other works of one of the most
important and popular writers in Spain today. This book provides
the most comprehensive study to date of the full range of Marias'
writing, including discussion and analysis of his literary and
intellectual formation, his development as a novelist and short
story writer, andhis unique perspective offered in nearly
twenty-five years of newspaper columns on topics ranging from
religion to football. Above all, Marias is examined as a writer of
fictions. As a translator of several canonical works from English
to Spanish, Marias came to appreciate the preciseness of words as
well as their ambiguity, their capacity to represent as well as
their propensity to distort. The author examines Marias's constant
awareness of how languagecan be used to construct stories as the
foundation for engaging the world as well as for imagining it. The
nature of Marias's storytelling, and the way in which he imagines,
form the principal focus of this Companion. David K. Herzberger is
Professor and Chair of the Department of Hispanic Studies at the
University of California, Riverside.
