*Premio Ortega y Gasset de Periodismo a la Trayectoria profesional 2023*

40 a?os de periodismo narrativo condensados en una obra magistral; Lacr?nica reafirma a Caparr?s como una de las voces imprescindibles de la literatura en nuestro idioma.

«El mejor cronista actual de Am?rica Latina: un soberbio entrevistador, un viajero dotado de cultura enciclop?dica y de una fina iron?a. Roberto Herrscher, La Vanguardia

Lacr?nica ser?a un «grandes ?xitos de Caparr?s, una compilaci?n de sus mejores cr?nicas, si no fuera porque all?, adem?s, el autor cuenta su historia en el periodismo y reflexiona sobre c?mo escribe lo que escribe, c?mo piensa lo que piensa, c?mo se hace lo que hace. Entre recuerdos de su primer jefe, Rodolfo Walsh, y de su ?ltimo maestro, Tom?s Eloy Mart?nez, Caparr?s da una lecci?n de escritura de la no ficci?n que las facultades de periodismo de Espa?a y Am?rica Latina ahora emplean para ense?ar esta materia.

Todo lo que usted siempre -o nunca- quiso saber sobre Lacr?nica, ese extra?o g?nero del periodismo que empez? a poner por escrito el continente americano y tiene el don de permitirse la duda, brilla en esta obra que, casi sin querer, se volvi? ineludible.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Ortega y Gasset Journalism Lifetime Achievement Award 2023.

Forty years of narrative journalism condensed in a masterpiece. Thechronicle reaffirms Caparr?s as one of the key voices in literature in the Spanish language.

The best chronicler in Latin America today, a superb interviewer, a traveler gifted with encyclopedic knowledge and a smooth irony. Roberto Herrscher, La Vanguardia

Thechronicle would be a greatest hits by Caparr?s, a compilation of his best chronicles, if it were not for the fact that the author tells his own story in journalism and reflects on how he writes what he writes, how he thinks what he thinks, how to do what he does. Among memories of his first boss, Rodolfo Walsh, and his last teacher, Tom?s Eloy Mart?nez, Caparr?s gives a non-fiction writing lesson that every school of journalism in Spain and Latin America now uses to teach the subject.

Everything you alwaysor neverwanted to know about Thechronicle, that strange genre in journalism that began putting the American continent down on paper and has the gift of affording doubt, shines in this work which, almost unwillingly, became inescapable.
