Tales Literary, una revista en papel a lo New Yorker

Os informo de que ha nacido una nueva revista en papel que tiene como referente a la famosa New Yorker, que, como sabéis, era y es todo un icono en la divulgación del cuento en Estados Unidos. New Yorker ha publicado a autores como Alice Munro, John Cheever, Truman Capote o Roberto Bolaño.

La nueva revista se llama Tales Literary y estará a la venta en ciudades como Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga, Granada y Sevilla a partir de principios de diciembre. 

He tenido la suerte de que hayan elegido uno de mis cuentos, "Aquellos años con Becky", para este primer número.

Los tres cuentos publicados son:

A Short Story by Jorge Luis Borges: "Emma Zunz"

Jorge Luis Borges (1899, Buenos Aires -1986, Geneva) was an Argentine poet, essayist, translator and short-story writer whose works have become classics of 20th-century world literature. Two o his most famous books, Ficciones (1944) and The Aleph (1949), are compilations of short stories interconnected by common themes such as dreams, labyrinths, libraries, mirrors, animals, fictional writers, philosophy, religion and God. His works have contributed to philosophical literature and also to magical realism. 

Borges and María Kodama got married in a civil proceeding in Paraguay on April 26, 1986.

At 40 he suffered a severe head wound that finally made his blood poisoning: he developed septicemia, and for a month hovered between life and death. After this experience, Borges began playing with a new style of writing for which he would become famous.

Surprisingly he didn´t win the Nobel Prize. 

"Emma Zunz", published in 1949 in the book called The Aleph, is one of his best short stories. 

My preferred epitaph

Which is your preferred epitaph? It´s not easy to say. There are some very funny, but if I should have to name one, only one, I think this by the great poet Vicente Huidobro, very fond on the sea, would be my selection. 

“Aquí yace el poeta Vicente Huidobro / Abrid la tumba / Al fondo de esta tumba se ve el mar”.

Vicente Huidobro
