William Maxwell

El pasado mes de septiembre John Updike publicaba un artículo en The New Yorker que, bajo el nombre de Imperishable Maxwell, hacía un repaso de la vida literaria del autor y editor norteamericano en el centenario del nacimiento del mismo. Updike nos dice que Maxwell “lived for art, its apperciation as well as its creation. In “Nearing Ninety”, he likened death to lying down for a plesant afternoon nap found “unberable” only the thought that “when people are dead they don’t read books”.

Libros del Asteroide ha vuelto a acertar editando otro libro de Maxwell que vive en sus escritos y que este octubre viene de la mano de Adiós, hasta mañana, una obra de madurez en la que Maxwell analiza la necesidad de examinar nuestro pasado y con la que ganó el National Book Award en 1980.
