Luis Sepúlveda. Il ribelle, il sognatore

(Luis Sepúlveda. Rebel, Dreamer.)

Ugo Guanda Editore, January 2021, pp.176

From a writer and close friend of Luis Sepúlveda, the public and private portrait of Lucho, a rebellious writer and a dreamer.

Following the death of the great Chilean writer, a few months ago, Bruno Arpaia draws an accurate, earnest portrait, as only one painted by a friend of thirty years and a colleague can be. His life, books, themes, obsessions and places, as well as his many friends: Sepúlveda is described as faithfully to the truth as possible in order to bring him even closer to his many readers and restore the memory of a life filled with formidable passions.
