Diary of Andres Fava

Diary of Andrés Fava is pure reflection: on his reading, dreams, conversations, and writing. This unpredictable journal of the protagonist of Cortázar's posthumously published El Examen is peppered with quotes from French poets and American jazzmen. Cortázar's brilliance and irreverence are in full power. Exploratory and honest, Diary of Andrés Fava lets us in on his own intimate reflections on literature, music, friendship, love, and the act of writing. It's full of bold jabs and devilish claims. A late-night rap session with Cortázar–he lets down his guard and we have the impossible pleasure of watching this lovable genius think and feel out loud.
