La literatura es también una oportunidad para la amistad. Así lo demuestra el conjunto de autores que aquí se reúnen en un marco de complicidad creativa, con la intención de derrumbar la molicie de lo cotidiano. Sus historias van de lo mítico y el erotismo a la ternura, el recuerdo, la angustia y la soledad. Si bien, el acto de escribir se caracteriza por su soledad, el acto literario tiene como base el compartir, el intercambio de imaginarios, los ajustes de cuentas con el inconsciente colectivo. De ello dan cuenta estas creaciones. Lector, quedas invitado a esta danza de la creatividad. Benjamín García, invierno, 2022

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
