Quote by Juan José Saer: “Reality is an invention that we constantly try to make visible.”

Saer suggests that what we perceive as reality isn't a fixed truth, but something we actively construct and interpret through language and perception. We're always trying to grasp and represent it.

Saer's work often explored the philosophical complexities of existence and representation, challenging conventional notions of truth and perception, particularly during a period when Latin American literature gained global recognition for its innovative approaches.

Argentine novelist and poet, considered one of the most rigorous and demanding writers in twentieth-century Latin American fiction. His novels, including The Witness and Glosa, are known for their philosophical depth, linguistic precision, and resistance to easy narrative resolution.
