Summary

Una memoria personal y apasionante del mundo cultural de las últimas décadas. Por el ganador de los premios Canarias de Literatura, Benito Pérez Armas, Azorín de Novela y Nacional de Periodismo Cultural.

 «Entre los cristales rotos de mi memoria hay fulgores, estrellas con las que a veces alumbro y alivio los desastres y otras despedidas. Y con frecuencia acuden a ella, por su cuenta, algunos personajes y se instalan ahí.»

«La materia de la que está hecha mi memoria es mi manera de ver la realidad», dijo en una ocasión Juan Cruz Ruiz, figura puente entre distintas generaciones de escritores, artistas, editores y periodistas. Desde la experiencia vivida junto a algunos de los principales protagonistas de la cultura contemporánea, llena de anécdotas, de momentos únicos que forjaron amistades, en cada capítulo de este libro el autor ofrece la semblanza personal de uno de ellos, que ahonda en su personalidad íntima y dibuja también su alma, instantes de sus vidas y de sus sentimientos.

Günter Grass, Patti Smith, José Saramago, Dulce Chacón, José Manuel Caballero Bonald, J. K. Rowling, Carlos Fuentes, Carmen Balcells, Mario Vargas Llosa, Leonard Cohen, Gabriel García Márquez, Ingmar Bergman... La literatura, la música, el cine y el arte emanados de este libro rompen las fronteras y atraviesan décadas para ofrecernos un relato evocador y brillante sobre el mundo cultural de los últimos cincuenta años.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A thrilling, personal memoir of the cultural world over the last decades. By the winner of the Canarias Literary Prize, Benito Pérez Armas Prize, Azorín Novel Prize, and National Cultural Journalism Prize.

“Among the broken glass of my memory, there are sparks—stars with which I sometimes illuminate or alleviate disasters and other goodbyes. And frequently, some people turn to it, of their own account, and settle in there.”

“The substance that my memory is made of is my way of seeing reality,” said Juan Cruz Ruiz, a bridging figure between various generations of writers, artists, editors, and journalists. From his experiences alongside some of the primary protagonists of contemporary culture, full of anecdotes, unique moments that solidified friendships, in each chapter of this book the author offers a profile of one of them, which delves into their personality and their soul, instants in their lives, and their feelings.

Günter Grass, Patti Smith, José Saramago, Dulce Chacón, José Manuel Caballero Bonald, J. K. Rowling, Carlos Fuentes, Carmen Balcells, Mario Vargaas Llosa, Leonard Cohen, Gabriel García Márquez, Ingmar Bergman… the literature, music, film, and art that emanate from this book break borders and cross decades to offer us a brilliant, evocative tale about the cultural world of the last fifty years.
