About the Book

Es el caricaturista político más influyente del país, "un hombre capaz de causar la revocación de una ley, trastornar el fallo de un magistrado, tumbar a un alcalde o amenazar gravemente la estabilidad de un ministerio, y eso con las únicas armas del papel y la tinta china". Los políticos le temen y el gobierno le hace homenajes. A sus sesenta y cinco años, después de cuatro décadas de brillante carrera, puede decir que tiene el país a sus pies. Pero todo eso cambiará cuando reciba la visita inesperada de una mujer. Tras remontarse con ella al recuerdo de una noche ya remota, Mallarino se verá obligado a revaluar toda su vida, a poner en entredicho su posición en este mundo. En Las reputaciones, Juan Gabriel Vásquez vuelve sobre sus más intensas obsesiones: el peso del pasado, los fallos de la memoria, la manera en que se cruzan nuestras vidas con el mundo político. Pero es también una novela sobre la importancia que tiene la opinión en nuestras sociedades. En el exigente género de la novela corta, que tantas obras maestras ha dado en la tradición latinoamericana, Vásquez nos regala su obra más íntima: una intensa reflexión sobre la debilidad de los juicios públicos y privados, sobre los encuentros irreversibles que alteran para siempre lo que creemos definitivo de nosotros. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Juan Gabriel Vásquez offers his most intimate work to date: a powerful reflection on the failings of public and private judgment, and on the irreversible encounters that forever alter what we judge as unshakable truths.
