«Los libros que nunca he escrito» is George Steiner's collection of essays, published by Siruela in paperback (238 pages, in Spanish).
George Steiner reflects on seven books he never got to write and the reasons: too much intimacy, suffering, or intellectual challenges. He imagines themes such as the torment of comparing oneself to the greats, sex in several languages, love for animals, exile, and a theology of emptiness; behind every great book would be the one left unwritten.
Number 31 in the El Ojo del Tiempo collection; second edition, translated by María Condor.
Work for those who appreciate literary essays and reflections on writing, creation, and the limits of the author.
