About the Book

Javier Marías realiza retratos breves de sus escritores preferidos en lengua española. «Marías es sencillamente asombroso». -Ali Smith «Javier Marías es un escritor maravilloso». -John Banville El origen de Miramientos se encuentra en el apéndice «Artistas perfectos», que cierra el libro Vidas escritas. En él, Javier Marías comentaba los retratos fotográficos de treinta y siete autores, todos extranjeros y todos muertos. La exclusión ahí de escritores en español lo llevó a escribir para la revista Cuadernos Cervantes los comentarios a los retratos de Valle-Inclán, Borges, Aleixandre, Benet, Bioy Casares, García Lorca, Victoria Ocampo, Fernando Savater, Cabrera Infante, Neruda, Mendoza, Martínez Sarrión, Cernuda y Quiroga, y a recogerlos, posteriormente y junto a otros retratos, en este volumen que completa con un «Autorretrato farsante» dedicado a sí mismo, una tentación que, como el propio Javier Marías reconoce, no pudo evitar, pero a la que intentó enfrentarse con el mismo «miramiento». ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Javier Marías profiles a selection of his favorite Spanish-language authors This book has its origins in “Perfect Artists,” the appendix to Javier Marías’s Written Lives, which profiles thirty-seven authors, all of them foreign and all of them dead. The absence from that list of any authors writing in Spanish led him to publish a new collection of profiles in Cuadernos Cervantes magazine, featuring Valle-Inclán, Borges, Aleixandre, Benet, Bioy Casares, García Lorca, Victoria Ocampo, Fernando Savater, Cabrera Infante, Neruda, Mendoza, Martínez Sarrión, Cernuda and Quiroga. These descriptions and more are collected in this volume, accompanied by a “fake self-portrait” of the author - for, as Marías observes, he could not resist the temptation to turn the same “gaze” on himself.

Review :
Reseñas: «Marías representa a las letras hispanas en el mundo por su prosa de fuerza expresiva». Mircea Cărtărescu «Que Javier Marías haya muerto sin el Premio Nobel le quita mucha categoría al Premio Nobel». Arturo Pérez-Reverte «Encontró una voz, una temática y un estilo tan propios que lo convirtieron en un fenómeno excéntrico, dentro de la literatura española y quizá también para sí mismo. La escritura de Javier Marías no se parece a ninguna otra». Eduardo Mendoza «Es uno de esos raros y preciosos seres, un simple novelista amante de las historias e intrigado por el mal». Colm Tóibín «De lejos es el mejor prosista español actual». Roberto Bolaño «Javier Marías es un escritor maravilloso». John Banville «Uno de los mayores novelistas de nuestro tiempo en cualquier lengua, pero que honró la nuestra». Juan Gabriel Vásquez «Si tuviera que nombrar a un solo escritor contemporáneo de su calidad, sería García Márquez». Marcel Reich-Ranicki
