«El paso tan lento del amor: Mi vida» is the novel by Héctor Bianciotti, published by Tusquets Editores in 1996 in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
The novel continues the journey begun in «Lo que la noche le cuenta al día»: in 1955, a young Bianciotti arrives in Italy penniless and determined not to return. Between Naples and the Rome of the dolce vita he experiences destitution and meets figures such as Maria Callas, passes through Francoist Madrid and reaches Paris, where he faces a twofold learning: that of dignity and that of abandoning his native language for French.
Continues the autofiction begun with «Lo que la noche le cuenta al día» (Andanzas 186). Original title: «Le Pas si lent de l'amour»; translation by Ernesto Schóo. Andanzas collection, no. 268.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction and autofiction, interested in the experience of exile and the construction of identity.
Hector Bianciotti was an Argentine-born French author and member of the Académie Française.
