ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONOrtega y Gasset Journalism Lifetime Achievement Award 2023. Forty years of narrative journalism condensed in a masterpiece. Thechronicle reaffirms Caparr s as one of the key voices in literature in the Spanish language. "The best chronicler in Latin America today, a superb interviewer, a traveler gifted with encyclopedic knowledge and a smooth irony." --Roberto Herrscher, La Vanguardia Thechronicle would be a "greatest hits" by Caparr s, a compilation of his best chronicles, if it were not for the fact that the author tells his own story in journalism and reflects on how he writes what he writes, how he thinks what he thinks, how to do what he does. Among memories of his first boss, Rodolfo Walsh, and his last teacher, Tom s Eloy Mart nez, Caparr s gives a non-fiction writing lesson that every school of journalism in Spain and Latin America now uses to teach the subject. Everything you always--or never--wanted to know about Thechronicle, that strange genre in journalism that began putting the American continent down on paper and has the gift of affording doubt, shines in this work which, almost unwillingly, became inescapable.
