EL TRABAJO DE LOS OJOS (3ªED)

"A fragmentary, beautiful and unclassifiable book about the gaze. With an elegant and refined style, Mercedes Halfon tells us about the way in which her vision problems determined a certain way of approaching the world and how that has conditioned her writing. Built on the basis of brief and heterogeneous scenes, always revealing, the author examines her own gaze, as in an ophthalmology of consciousness, a delicate ocular autobiography. Thus, visits to the eye doctor's office are intermingled with childhood memories, family stories with the omnipresence of the eyes and vision in universal culture. A text of strange beauty that stands out from the genres and can be read as a memoir, autofiction or literary essay"--Page 4 of cover.
