«Relatos reales» is Javier Cercas's collection of chronicles, published by Acantilado in paperback (216 pages, in Spanish).
In these chronicles, Javier Cercas starts from everyday reality to build pieces that read like stories. The author defends a hybrid literature in which good reportage aspires to partake of the poem, the essay and the story, and offers a personal view that fuses observation and narration without renouncing a testimonial tone.
First edition published in 2000; belongs to the El Acantilado collection, number 20.
For readers of short fiction and literary journalism interested in the most personal side of Javier Cercas.
Javier Cercas Mena is a Spanish writer and professor of Spanish literature at the University of Girona, Spain. Awards he has won for his novels include the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize for Soldiers of Salamis, and the European Book Prize for The Impostor.
