El infinito naufragio reúne poemas, relatos e "inventarios" que dan cuenta de las inquietudes literarias que José Emilio Pacheco exploró e interrogó a lo largo de más de medio siglo de escritura. El lenguaje, la Historia como figura de reverencia y terror, la música, la naturaleza, la capacidad humana para la destrucción, la memoria, los naufragios --ancestrales y ordinarios-- se dan cita en un volumen que muestra, tanto a los más experimentados como a las nuevas generaciones de lectores, que la de Pacheco es una obra llena de pasión por el mundo y de asombro ante su fugacidad. Siempre renovada por obra del lector, la suya es una de las voces imprescindibles y entrañables de la literatura en lengua castellana. El infinito naufragio brings together poems and stories that account for the literary concerns that José Emilio Pacheco explored and interrogated throughout more than half a century of writing.

Argenis Luna carga sobre los hombros el mundo entero. La figura gigantesca de su padre, un héroe de la guerrilla urbana dominicana cuyo éxito ha sido más mítico que real. La promesa trunca de su propia carrera de pintor. Los estragos de una adicción que lo define al menor asomo de responsabilidad o de culpa. Tras un viaje obligado a Cuba en pos de un tratamiento de desintoxicación, Argenis vuelve a una cruel Santo Domingo que lo espera con la misma rabia, las mismas contradicciones, la misma codicia que lleva a traicionar todos los sueños e ideales. Vástago de una revolución que devora a sus hijos, tendrá que sobrevivir la tensión doble que el desarraigo y la sed de pertenencia ejercen sin tregua sobre él. En su retrato descarnado del protagonista y su prosa inconfundiblemente caribeña, Rita Indiana demuestra por qué es una de las voces más atractivas de la literatura latinoamericana de hoy. Argenis Luna carries the entire world on his shoulders. The gigantic figure of his father, a hero of the Dominican urban guerrilla whose success has been more mythical than real. The truncated promise of his own career as a painter. The ravages of an addiction that defines the slightest hint of responsibility or guilt. After a forced trip to Cuba in search of a detoxification treatment, Argenis returns to a cruel Santo Domingo who awaits him with the same rage, the same contradictions, the same greed that leads to betraying all dreams and ideals. The child of a revolution that devours it's children, he will have to survive the double tension that uprooting and the thirst for belonging relentlessly exert on him. In her stark portrait of the protagonist and her unmistakably Caribbean prose, Rita Indiana demonstrates why she is one of the most attractive voices in Latin American literature today.
