«El libro» is a narrative volume by Zoran Živković, published by 451 Editores in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
A book narrates with pessimistic and endearing humor the life of its species, from its birth at the publisher to its fate in second-hand bookstores. It invites reflection on editors, booksellers and readers, and is completed with the story «El escritor», in which a novelist recounts the problems of getting his work published.
The original work, published as «Knjiga / Pisac» in 1999, appears here in its first Spanish edition (October 2007).
It is a work for readers of contemporary fiction who appreciate metafictional stories and ironic humor about the world of books.
