Lo que fue presente (Diarios 1985-2006)

«Parece que no soy capaz de ser, si es que pretendo ser algo. No soy nada: un escritor que no escribe nada, salvo un diario. Un amante que no es capaz de amar. Un padre que no ejerce. Un marido lejano». Los diarios íntimos de Héctor Abad Faciolince pueden leerse como una novela de formación. Aquí se incluyen los que van desde finales de 1985 (cuando era un estudiante de 27 años) hasta la publicación de su libro más aclamado, El olvido que seremos, en 2006. En ellos se relatan las angustias de alguien que, aunque quería ser escritor, escribía muy poca ficción y mucho sobre sus obsesiones, sus amores y sus dificultades en la vida cotidiana. Abad quería dejar por escrito, al menos, que era incapaz de escribir. Un testimonio descarnado sobre cómo nace una vocación y cómo se aprende a enfrentar la dura y emocionante aventura de vivir. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION It seems like I'm not capable of being anything, if it's that I'm trying to be something. I am nothing: a writer who doesn't write, except a diary. A lover who isn't capable of loving. A father who doesn't act like one. A distant husband.

Héctor Adad Faciolince's intimate diaries read like a personal growth novel. Included here are those that date from the end of 1985 (when he was a 27 year old student) until the publication of his most acclaimed novel, El olvido que seremos, in 2006.

In them, he relates the anguish of someone who, although he wanted to be a writer, wrote very little fiction and a lot about his obsessions, his lovers, and the difficulties of his daily life. Abad wanted to leave in writing, at least, that he was incapable of being a writer. A raw testimony about how a vocation is born and how one learns to face the difficult and exciting adventure that is life.
