Sergio Chejfec
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sergio Chejfec is an Argentine Jewish writer. He was born in Buenos Aires in 1956. Since 1990 he lives in Venezuela, where he publishes Nueva sociedad, a journal that covers politics, culture and the social sciences.
Chejfec has written novels, essays and a poetry collection. Among his works, one can mention Lenta biografía (1990), Los planetas (1999), Boca de Lobo (2000) and Los incompletos (2004). He has been compared to Juan José Saer, which he finds flattering but not accurate. His novels usually feature a slow-paced narrator that interweaves the plot with reflection. Memory, political violence, and Jewish-Argentine culture and history are some of the themes recurring throughout his work.
