«Desde el jardín» is the satirical novel by Jerzy Kosinski, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
Chance is a gardener who has always lived in seclusion and knows the world only through television. When his protector dies, his naive comments begin to be read as profound statements and turn him into a figure admired by the media and the powerful. A satire on fame, television and the lack of substance in public life.
Part of the Compactos Collection (No. 9), with a translation by Nelly Cacici de Bonomini; the original title is «Being There» (1970).
For those who enjoy social satire, criticism of the media and contemporary twentieth-century fiction.
Jerzy Kosiński was a Polish-born American writer and two-time president of the American chapter of PEN, who wrote primarily in English.
