Synopsis "El Jardinero, El Escultor Y El Fugitivo / The Gardener, the Sculptor, and the Fu Gitive (in Spanish)"

Tras recibir el Premio Formentor, regresa César Aira con una novela impredecible en tres partes, o tres novelas insólitas en una que vuelven a dinamitar las expectativas del realismo. Un escritor maduro, preocupado por la depresión que sufre su jardinero, se adentra en los recovecos de un jardín edénico que esconde los secretos más inquietantes. Un consagrado escultor de la antigua Grecia emprende un accidentado viaje hacia un oráculo en busca de consejo para tratar a su asistente, acechado también por el monstruo de la melancolía y la desazón. Por último, un hombre corriente sumido en los achaques de la edad anhela gozar de la libertad de ser perseguido y escapar. Para ello necesita cometer un crimen y convertirse en un auténtico fugitivo. El jardinero, el escultor y el fugitivo puede leerse como tres novelas breves o como una novela en tres partes con un intrincado juego de variaciones. Alrededor de ella orbitan el discurrir del tiempo, la pérdida de la juventud, la melancolía, la vanidad del artista y una reflexión acerca de la naturaleza de la literatura, la creación y la escritura misma. Este tan insólito e impredecible como magnético libro se suma al rico entramado que constituye la espléndida obra de César Aira. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION After receiving the Formentor Prize, César Aira returns with a three-part unpredictable novel, or three unusual novels in one, that blast the expectations of realism once again. A mature writer, worried about his gardener's depression, ventures into the deepest nooks of an Edenic garden concealing the most unsettling secrets. An acclaimed sculptor of antient Greece sets on a bumpy journey towards an oracle, looking for guidance to treat his assistant, also haunted by the monster of melancholy and despair. Lastly, a common man, engulfed in the aches and pains of old age, yearns for the freedom to be persecuted and escape. To do so, he must commit a crime and become a genuine fugitive. The Gardener, the Sculptor, and the Fugitive can be read as three short novels or one three-part novel, with an intricate set of variations. The passing of time, the loss of youth, the melancholy, the artist's vanity, and a reflection on the nature of literature, creation, and writing itself, orbit around it. This unusual and unpredictable, as well as magnetic book, adds to the precious stage that constitutes the splendid work of César Aira.
