The first English translation of Vivir Venecia, a memoir by the Argentine living classic Abel Posse.
Novelist, essayist, poet, career diplomat, and politician, Posse has written fourteen novels (including the much-acclaimed Daimón and The Dogs of Paradise), seven collections of essays, extensive journalistic work, and numerous short stories and poems.
In A Long Day in Venice, Posse recounts with nostalgia, lucidity, and passion his six years spent as “consul in exile” in the most unusual city on earth. He discusses diplomacy, politics, writing, public and private life, encounters with Jorge Luis Borges, Ernesto Sábato, Abelardo Arias, Alejo Carpentier, Alberto Moravia, Joseph Brodsky, and other writers and artists, with Venice as a dazzling backdrop…
An unmissable memoir for lovers of literature and history.
Work published within the framework of “Sur” Translation Support Program of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship of the Argentine Republic”.
