ISIDORO BLAISTEN
ARGENTINA, 1933-2004 |
| |
Isidoro Blaisten is held to be one of the greatest Argentinian short story writers. His inimitable humour, his masterly treatment of colloquial language and brilliant verbal inventiveness create a literary space unique in its freshness of language and dynamism of imagination. Blaisten knows how to get the most out of the trivial and mundane. He was a member of the Argentinian Academy of Letters since 2001 and a corresponding member of the Spanish
Royal Academy. |

| "One of the best storytellers of his generation, the most read and the most popular after Jorge Luis Borges and Julio Cortázar.” CARLOS ARES, EL PAÍS |
 |
| Blaisten belongs to that vein of storytellers of the absurd that, in the space between uproarious laughter and hair-raising shivers, reveals to us all the nuances of the spectrum of existence.” LE NOUVEL OBSERVATEAUR |
|
| “The talent of Isidoro Blaisten resides in a fusion of all these elements: the expressionism of Roberto Arlt, the epic quality of Leopoldo Marechal, and the playful inventiveness of Julio Cortázar.” JEAN-DIDIER WAGNEUR, LIBERATION |
|
| “Stories that echo the style and form of the greatest Latin American masters.” J.M. GOICOECHEA, EL PAÍS
