Desertar
By Ariana Harwicz and Mikaël Gómez Guthart

IN SPANISH
Publisher: Mar Dulce (Argentina)

This book transcends genres; it is dialogue, essay, oral writing. A writer and a translator captivated by the mysteries of literature and translation.

Ariana Harwicz from Buenos Aires to Paris and Mikaël Gómez Guthart from Paris to Buenos Aires , meet again in France . "Desertar" (to desert) traverses genres—dialogue, essay, oral writing—becoming not only the title of the book but, above all, a key to being in the world and, therefore, to reading and writing.

"Desertar" thinks in terms of translation and literature, and between these terms, a dose of misunderstanding can sometimes be necessary and even productive. Literature needs "the sweetness of a mystery," as Proust said.
