Winner of the 1987 Nadal Prize


Blanco the Magician is renowned across Europe for his astonishing telepathic feats, dazzling audiences with the power of his mind. But when a ruthless conspiracy exposes him as a fraud, his carefully constructed world shatters. Fleeing disgrace, Blanco escapes to the remote corners of Argentina, where he begins a new life in obscurity with the beguiling and enigmatic Gina.

As Blanco struggles to rebuild his identity, he finds himself entangled in a series of events that blur the line between illusion and reality. In The Event, Juan Jos? Saer weaves a hypnotic tale of deception, exile, and the search for meaning in a world where nothing is as it seems. With his signature philosophical depth and luminous prose, Saer explores themes of love, identity, and the fragile constructs that hold our lives together.

Juan Jos? Saer (1937-2005) was one of Argentina's most influential and innovative writers, celebrated for his philosophical depth and masterful prose. Born in Serodino, Santa Fe, he spent much of his adult life in France, where he wrote works that bridged Argentine and European literary traditions. His major works include La Grande, Scars, and The Event, for which he was awarded Spain's prestigious Nadal Prize in 1987.

Helen Lane (1921-2004) was a celebrated literary translator, renowned for bringing many of the world's greatest works of fiction into English. Over her distinguished career, she translated books from Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Italian, introducing Anglophone readers to major authors such as Mario Vargas Llosa, Octavio Paz, Juan Goytisolo, Luisa Valenzuela, and Jorge Amado. Her contributions to literature earned her numerous accolades, including a PEN Translation Prize.
