Abstract
A la hora de hablar de la escritura de Juan Marsé, no encontramos un acuerdo entre la crítica literaria, parte de los críticos sitúan al escritor catalán dentro de la Generación de medio siglo, escritores a los que la Guerra Civil les robó la infancia, víctimas de la devastación moral y económica que asoló el país tras el final de la guerra. Estos escritores comenzaron a escribir durante los años cincuenta, época que comenzó a sentirse un pequeño despegue económico, atrás quedaron los peores años de la posguerra, y el país empezaba a respirar un ligero optimismo. Todos ellos tienen en común su preocupación social y la denuncia de las injusticias. Sus novelas reflejan esta situación a la vez que llevan a cabo una dura condena. Para otros críticos su escritura forma parte del Realismo social, movimiento que comparte con los anteriores esa preocupación social que quieren reflejar en sus obras. Sin embargo, Marsé siempre ha rechazado cualquier adscripción a una corriente literaria, huye de cualquier militancia, su única preocupación es "contar una historia y contarla bien", está por encima de tendencias o modas literarias. Se considera un "orfebre" del lenguaje, pese a la aparente sencillez de su prosa hay una elaboración minuciosa fruto de su búsqueda de la precisión y de su perfeccionismo, que le da no pocos quebraderos de cabeza. Su extensa carrera literaria abarca periodos históricos que van desde el franquismo, hasta la actualidad, su primera novela Encerrados con un solo juguete fue escrita en 1960, y en 2016, escribió su hasta ahora última novela, Esa puta tan distinguida. Testigo de la historia y de los cambios políticos, sus páginas sirven de testimonio para conocer momentos clave de la historia más reciente de España ...
When discussing the writing of Juan Marsé, there seems to be disagreement among literary criticism. Some critics place the Catalan writer within the "Generation of Half a Century"; there were writers whose children were stolen by the Civil War and were victims of the moral and economic devastation that shattered the country after the war. These writers began to write during the fifties, a time when there was a small economic takeoff, when the worst years of the postwar were over and the country began to breathe with slight optimism. All of these writers have in common their social concern and the denunciation of injustices. Marsé's novels are no different as they reflect this situation as well as carry out hard condemnation. According to other critics, his writing is part of the Social Realism movement - a movement that shares the same social concerns and wants this reflected in the works created. However, Marsé has always rejected any claim to a literary stream; his only concern is "to tell a story and to tell it well" and to be above trends or literary fashions. He is considered a "goldsmith" of language and, despite the seeming simplicity of his prose, there is a meticulous elaboration resulting from his search for precision and perfectionism, both of which cause him a few headaches. His extensive literary career encompasses historical periods ranging from the Franco dictatorship to the present. He wrote his first novel Encerrados con un solo juguete in 1960 and his latest one Esa puta tan distinguida was just published in 2016 and witness the history and the political changes; the novel's pages serve as testimony in the discovery of key moments of Spain's most recent history ...
