About this Event

To celebrate the release of Andrés Neuman’s two latest titles to come out in English—Once Upon Argentina and Sensitive Anatomy—he will be in conversation with editor Chad W. Post to discuss the international nature of his life and works. As depicted in Once Upon Argentina, Neuman is a product of immigration and cultural blending, having been born in Argentina to a mother of French and Spanish descent and a father of Eastern European-Jewish descent, before relocating to Spain as a teenager. These crossings—literal and cultural—shape many aspects of his literary work, from the actual settings for his novels (Traveler of the Century takes place in Saxony and Prussia; Fracture primarily in Japan) to concepts of translation and the exchange of ideas and understanding. This event will explore this topic and highlight many of Neuman’s highly-praised and award-winning works of literature.
Language: Spanish.



Andrés Neuman: De Europa a Argentina y de regreso


Para celebrar el lanzamiento de los dos últimos títulos de Andrés Neuman que salen en inglés—Once Upon Argentina y Sensitive Anatomy—estará en conversación con el editor Chad W. Post para discutir la naturaleza internacional de su vida y obra. Como se describe en Once Upon Argentina, Neuman es producto de la inmigración y la fusión cultural, habiendo nacido en Argentina de una madre de ascendencia francesa y española y un padre de ascendencia judía de Europa del Este, antes de trasladarse a España siendo adolescente. Estos cruces—literales y culturales—moldean muchos aspectos de su obra literaria, desde los escenarios reales de sus novelas (Traveler of the Century tiene lugar en Sajonia y Prusia; Fracture principalmente en Japón) hasta conceptos de traducción y el intercambio de ideas y entendimiento. Este evento explorará este tema y destacará muchas de las obras literarias de Neuman, ampliamente elogiadas y premiadas.
