Sacrificio de dama
Par Julio Cesar Londoño. 2019
Este libro reúne los mejores cuentos y ensayos del gran escritor caleño Julio César Londoño. Sacrificio de dama reúne lo…
mejor de la narración breve de Julio César Londoño, un escritor apasionado del cuento y del ensayo. En sus ensayos se empeña en acercar al hombre común la obra del genio. Concisos, transparentes, agudos, versan sobre tópicos tan diversos como la moda, los números, los sentidos, las hormigas, el ocio, la Torre de Babel, la obra ensayística de Borges, la relación entre Mutis y Poniatowska o la mítica derrota de Gary Kasparov, el mejor jugador de ajedrez de todos los tiempos, a manos de un computador. En sus cuentos hay el mismo afán de cautivar al lector, el mismo desenfado para narrar combinado con un cuidado musical de la forma, la misma erudición, la misma variedad temática, a veces las mismas obsesiones, y protagonistas tan atractivos como el caballo de Troya, Cristóbal Colón, Rufino José Cuervo, el cacique muisca Bechí, Johannes Kepler y Ramsés II.Allotted Views
