«Luis Humberto Crosthwaite hace en cada relato una reflexi?n sobre el cuento como la m?s exigente de las artes marciales. -Mart?n Solares

El ?ltimo show del Elegante Joan da t?tulo a una colecci?n de cuentos donde el hilo conductor es la poes?a, la m?sica y la literatura. Un ejercicio de metaficci?n que aborda, desde el humor, la autorreferencia y los mecanismos propios de la escritura. Inicia con una carta de protesta, en donde los personajes del libro se quejan por haber sido maltratados por el escritor. En sus p?ginas desfilan poetas shaolines dispuestos a batirse a duelo; una editora paname?a decidida a publicar la novela que revolucionar? la literatura mundial; un joven montacarguista que por un d?a se transforma en compositor de corridos; el mejor y m?s amoroso imitador de Joan Sebastian; personajes literarios que son reclutados por una agencia de colocaci?n para participar en una novela. Al final, un personaje se revela y reta al autor a terminar el libro sin ?l.

Con fino humor y desparpajo, Luis Humberto Crosthwaite nos presenta su trabajo m?s maduro e introspectivo. A la vez, nos recuerda, en cada relato, que la literatura, como oficio y como arte, no tiene que ser ni solemne ni aburrida.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Luis Humberto Crosthwaite turns each story into a reflection on how short stories are the most demanding of martial arts." --Mart?n Solares

Elegant Joan's Final Show is the title of a collection of short stories where the main themes are poetry, music, and literature. A metafiction exercise that addresses self-referencing and the mechanisms of narrative with humor. It begins with a letter of protest, where the characters complain about being mistreated by the author. Through its pages we see a parade of shaolin poets willing to fight, a Panamanian editor set on publishing a novel that will revolutionize world literature, a young forklift operator who becomes a corrido composer for one day, the best and most amorous Joan Sebastian impersonator, literary characters recruited by a head-hunting agency to participate in a novel. At the end, a character is revealed and challenges the author to finish the book without him.

With a fine humor and nonchalance, Luis Humberto Crosthwaite delivers his most mature and introspective work. At the same time, he reminds us in each story that literature, as both craft and art, doesn't have to be solemn nor boring.
