The second installment of Argentine literary giant Ricardo Pigliaâs acclaimed bibliophilic trilogy follows his alter ego, Emilio Renzi, as his literary career begins to take off in the tumultuous years 1968-1975ârunning a magazine, working as a publisher, and encountering the literary stars among whom he would soon take his place: Borges, Puig, Roa Bastos, Piñera. âOne writes,â Ricardo Piglia asserts, only âin order to know literature.â Spanning the years 1968 to 1975, The Diaries of Emilio Renzi: The Happy Years is a testament to Pigliaâs intimate, lifelong love affair with the written word. This second installment of the Argentinian masterâs diaries opens a window into a luminous literary community fertile with genius and ever-traipsing from bar to barâas well as into a convulsing Argentina racked by the death of Perón, guerilla warfare, and a bloody military coupâand establishes itself as the definitive backbone of Pigliaâs monumental career.
