«Me gusta contar historias de personas comunes y corrientes. Personas como yo mismo. Personas como las que han poblado siempre mi vida. Ni siquiera sé por qué son esas las historias que me nace contar. Tal vez porque me seduce y me emociona lo que hay de excepcional y de sublime en nuestras existencias ordinarias y anónimas. En esas vidas habita con frecuencia el fútbol. Porque lo jugamos desde chicos. Porque amamos a un club y a su camiseta. Porque es una de esas experiencias básicas en que se funda nuestra niñez y, por lo tanto, lo que somos y seremos. Creo que todas las historias que contamos buscan acceder, de un modo u otro, a los grandes temas que gobiernan nuestras vidas como seres humanos. El amor, el dolor, la muerte, la amistad, la angustia, la traición, el triunfo, la espera. Y sin embargo, no resulta sencillo ingresar en esos temas de frente y sin atajos. El fútbol, como parte de esa vida que tenemos, es una puerta de entrada a esos mundos Ãntimos en que se juegan asuntos mucho más definitivos. Un escenario, o un telón de fondo, de las cosas esenciales que señalan y definen todas las vidas . --Eduardo Sacheri ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An anthology of soccer stories by Eduardo Sacheri.
From the author of The Secret in Their Eyes, Eduardo Sacheri. An anthology of soccer stories that includes now-classic tales, such as Waiting for Tito or You'll Have to Excuse Me, and four previously unpublished stories.
I like to tell stories about ordinary people. People like me. People like those who have always been part of my life. I don't even know why these are the stories I feel compelled to tell. Perhaps because I am drawn to and moved by what is exceptional and sublime in our ordinary, anonymous lives. Soccer often inhabits those lives. Because we've played it since we were kids. Because we love a club and its jersey. Because it's one of those fundamental experiences upon which our childhood is built--and therefore, who we are and who we will become. I believe that all the stories we tell seek to address, in one way or another, the great themes that govern our lives as human beings. Love, pain, death, friendship, anguish, betrayal, triumph, waiting. And yet, it is not easy to tackle those themes head-on and without shortcuts. Soccer, as part of the life we lead, is a gateway to those intimate worlds where far more definitive matters are at stake. A stage, or a backdrop, for the essential things that mark and define all lives.--Eduardo Sacheri
