Es una invitación a adentrarnos en una prosa aguda y corruscante, que tomándonos en broma nos cuestiona de manera profunda y radical. La obra de Juan José Arreola (Jalisco, 1918- 2001) es un despliegue notable de temas y estilos; del cuento fantástico a la fábula de animales, de lo mágico a lo fantasmagórico, del amor idealizado a las más hermosas metáforas del dolor y de la muerte, los relatos reunidos en este Confabulario recorren ese espacio de ingenuidad y sapiencia que constituye el núcleo de su obra. Una obra cuyos orígenes se remontan a las literaturas clásicas y en la que el lector -como resaltó un crítico- descubrirá a un narrador de poderosa y sorprendente imaginación, a un orfebre de las palabras y a un mago con los poderes de la imaginación. "Soy autodidacto, es cierto. Pero a los doce años y en Zapotlán el Grande leí a Baudelaire, a Walt Whitman y a los principales fundadores de mi estilo: Papini y Marcel Schwob... Y oía canciones y los dichos populares y me gustaba mucho la conversación", escribió el propio Arreola, una de las mayores voces, junto a Juan Rulfo, de la literatura mexicana contemporánea. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION It is an invitation to delve into a sharp and coruscant prose, which, taking us as a joke, questions us in a profound and radical way. The work of Juan José Arreola (Jalisco, 1918-2001) is a remarkable display of themes and styles; from the fantastic tale to the fable of animals, from the magical to the phantasmagoric, from idealized love to the most beautiful metaphors of pain and death, the stories gathered in this Confabulario travel through that space of naivety and wisdom that constitutes the core of his work. A work whose origins go back to classical literatures and in which the reader - as one critic pointed out - will discover a narrator of powerful and surprising imagination, a goldsmith of words and a magician with the powers of imagination. "I'm self-taught, it's true. But at the age of twelve and in Zapotlán el Grande I read Baudelaire, Walt Whitman and the main founders of my style: Papini and Marcel Schwob... And I listened to songs and popular sayings and I liked the conversation very much," wrote Arreola himself, one of the greatest voices, along with Juan Rulfo, of contemporary Mexican literature.
