Andrea Jeftanovic says that an author is, first and foremost, a reader. In *La distracción*, Sergio Missana invites us to follow the paths of his readings through heterogeneous traditions and eras. Solid, very well-written, erudite texts that look closely at their characters and their creators, understanding dissimilar poetics. Perhaps the most important thing for an author is to create a world and imbue it with language. That is the operation that this book observes with a magnifying glass, unraveling the fictional machinery of Jorge Luis Borges, Thomas Bernhard, Doris Lessing, Marcel Proust, Nicanor Parra, among others.
