«Zigzag» is the essay collection by Hans Magnus Enzensberger, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (208 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together fourteen texts written between 1989 and 1997, many previously published in the German press and three unpublished. It addresses the dictatorship of fashion, waste, cultural policy, the dismantling of an empire by Gorbachev, or the Ugandan civil war contrasted with Bosnia, in a deliberately non-linear, zigzag style.
Volume 224 of Anagrama's Argumentos collection. Translated by Michael Faber Kaiser. Published in 2006.
For readers of essays and social criticism who appreciate a sharp, personal and not uncontroversial view of recent history.
