Judge About Books Scars

I've read 4 or 5 reviews of this book, and not one has mentioned the treatment of women in this novel. There's a fine line between building despicable (and believable) characters and writing characters that seem to embody (reinforce) misogyny and violence. I see the brilliance in Scars and found Ernesto's chapter particularly compelling. The book troubled me though, even taking into consideration what year it was written.

La domanda è: il termine cicatrici si riferisce ai personaggi delle storie concentriche concepite da Saer o sono quelle che lascia nel lettore?Le quattro stelle da me attribuite attestano che il libro mi è piaciuto, e anche parecchio, però mi è rimasto addosso come un senso di incompiutezza, di irrisolto, di sospeso...un po' come le vite dei personaggi, incomplete, incompiute, senza orizzonti e senza sbocchi ma permeate di ossessioni, impregnate di routine alienante.Buona lettura.

Quattro storie, quattro protagonisti, quattro voci narranti: un giornalista, un avvocato, un giudice e un omicida. Vicende che si sfiorano, entrano in collisione a volte, per poi continuare sulla linea tracciata da ogni singola esistenza, nella propria personalissima ossessione.Ottima scoperta, almeno per me, Saer riesce a creare atmosfere spesse, avvolgenti, conscio e abile nel muovere i suoi personaggi e ad incastrare le parole una dietro laltra.

Juan José Saer was an Argentine author who turned expatriate when he moved to France in 1968 due the worsening political climate at the time in Argentina. He lived in France until his death in 2005. Despite not actually living in Argentina for the majority of his life, he is considered - at least according to his Wikipedia profile so this could be complete bullshit - to be "one of the most important Argentine novelists of the last fifty years." And, despite being "one of the most important

confesso che ho saltato un sacco di pagine - tutte quelle con la descrizione minuziosa: 1) dei tragitti in automobile del juez 2) dell'andamento delle partite a punto y banca di sergioil resto mi è piaciuto;-)

This is an amazing novel. Saer is playing with narrative form, with four stories that converge towards shocking killing and its aftermath. The bulk of the first three stories is unrelated to the event that they close with, though. This is a very male novel that depicts some pretty uncomfortable misogyny (it was written in 1969), but as much as anything it's about a disconnectedness that these four men feel from the world. Their lives devolve into different patterns and rituals that they fixate
