Los textos políticos del ganador del Premio Alfaguara de novela que sitúan a Colombia frente al espejo de la actualidad VIOLENCIA, JUEGOS DE PODER Y POSVERDAD EN UN PAÍS EN BUSCA DE PAZ «Vásquez ha sucedido a García Márquez como el gran maestro literario de Colombia . --Ariel Dorfman, The New York Review of Books «Donde el poder está en juego, la mentira se hará presente . Desde que fueron anunciadas en Colombia las negociaciones de paz con las Farc, Juan Gabriel Vásquez no ha dejado de comentar ese proceso que tanta esperanza --y tanta polarización-- ha llevado a ese país. Este libro recoge todo lo que ha escrito al respecto: sus columnas de opinión en medios de todo el mundo, pero también conversaciones con el expresidente Juan Manuel Santos, con el jefe del equipo negociador del Gobierno colombiano en La Habana, Humberto de la Calle, y con la escultora Doris Salcedo. Los desacuerdos de paz no solo documenta los acontecimientos de los últimos diez años: también propone una reflexión sobre la mentira y la violencia que han degradado la convivencia ciudadana. El libro incluye un prólogo y un epílogo inéditos en los que Vásquez procura dar respuesta a dos preguntas: en los tiempos de la posverdad, cómo ejercer el periodismo de opinión? Y en el país del posconflicto, cómo contar el pasado? Desde su periodismo, Vásquez defendió antes las negociaciones igual que defiende ahora los acuerdos, pero siempre con la mirada lúcida y alejada de todo sectarismo, y a partir de una posición que no es ideológica ni solo política, sino también humanista y moral. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Political texts by the Alfaguara Novel Prize winner that put Colombia on the face of actuality.
Violence, power games, and post-truth in a country in search of peace.
Where power is at stake, there will be lies. Since peace negotiations with the FARC were announced in Colombia, Juan Gabriel Vásquez hasn't stopped addressing this process that has given his country so much hope--and has polarized it just as much. This book gathers everything Vásquez has written about the matter: his opinion pieces in the world media and conversations with former President Juan Manuel Santos, with the head of the Colombian negotiating team in Havana, Humberto de la Calle, and with sculptor Doris Salcedo. The Peace Discord not only documents the events of the past ten years, but prompts a reflection on the lies and violence that have degraded national fellowship. This book includes an unpublished prologue and epilogue, in which Vásquez attempts to answer two questions: in the times of post-truth, how can someone practice opinion journalism? And in a post-conflict nation, how do you retell the past? Through his journalism, Vásquez defended the negotiations before, same as he defends the accords now, but always with a lucid mind, far from any sectarism, from a position neither ideological nor solely political, but humanitarian and ethical.
