Envejece un perro tras los cristales /A Dog Ages on the Other Side of the Window

El libro m s personal de Castellanos Moya: breves apuntes y reflexiones que nos permiten conocer la intimidad de un escritor asolado por las dudas sobre s mismo.

En este volumen, Castellanos Moya nos brinda sus dos extraordinarios cuadernos de apuntes, escritos en circunstancias muy distintas pero alentados por una misma voluntad: la del escritor que hurga en s mismo para encontrar pistas que le ayuden a entender su forma de estar en el mundo. Cuaderno de Tokio (Los cuervos de Sangenjaya) fue fruto de una estad a de seis meses en Jap n en 2009, y Cuaderno de Iowa (Envejece un perro tras los cristales) fue escrito entre 2011 y 2016, durante su estancia como profesor de escritura creativa en Estados Unidos, donde a n reside.

Aunque no se trata de diarios en el sentido estricto: a veces predomina en ellos la reflexi n, el estado de nimo y el trazo, antes que la an cdota del d a a d a. Mientras a trav s de la ventana de su apartamento toma conciencia del tiempo que pasa, asistimos a los deseos, las frustraciones y las man as de un autor que se exhibe a s mismo, dudoso ante la esperanza de que una supuesta posteridad lo lea con la misma autocompasi n con que dice haberse descrito a s mismo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Castellanos Moya's most personal book: these are brief notes and reflections that invite us to intimately get to know a writer plagued by self-doubt.

In this volume, Castellanos Moya offers us two extraordinary notebooks, written in very different circumstances but encouraged by the same will: that of a writer who delves into himself to find clues that help him understand his place in the world. The Tokyo Notebook was the result of a six-month stay in Japan in 2009, and the Iowa Notebook was written between 2011 and 2016, during his stay as a creative writing professor in that city, where he still lives.

They are not diaries in the strict sense of the word: sometimes they are overcome by reflections and his moods, more so than anecdotes of everyday life. As he becomes aware of the time that passes through his apartment window, we are witness to the desires, frustrations, and fixations of an author who puts himself out there, hopeful that the future will see him with the same self-pity with which he claims to have described himself.
