Adrian Bravi je argentinský spisovatel, který se proslavil svými literárními eseji a beletrií, často čerpající z autobiografických prvků. Jeho dílo se hluboce zabývá tématem psaní v jazyce, který není jeho rodným jazykem, a zkoumá tak složitost identity a vyjádření. Braviho styl se vyznačuje hlubokou introspekcí a filozofickým pohledem na lidskou zkušenost. Jeho rozsáhlá tvorba zahrnuje romány, povídky a články, které čtenářům nabízejí podnětné a pohlcující čtení.
My Language Is a Jealous Lover bears witness to the frustrations, soul- searching, pain, and joys of embracing another tongue. Adrián N. Bravi weaves together his own experiences as an Argentinian-Italian with the stories of authors who lived and wrote between multiple languages, including Samuel Beckett, Vladimir Nabokov, Ãgota Kristóf, and Joseph Brodsky.
1982: Argentina is in crisis. In the face of protests, the military junta calls a generation to arms in the hope that patriotic feeling, and a quick and easy war, will restore national unity. Adrián N. Bravi recounts the battle for the Malvinas Islands through the story of Alberto Adorno, a young soldier for whom the tragedy of an absurd conflict turns into comedy. South 1982 portrays the feelings of someone waiting to leave the army, of someone not long recruited who is about to return home but feels he is still at war, who wanders around the camp with a book of poetry in his pocket. Bravi narrates the events of one war, which is the story of every war, through the ironic voice of a modern Soldier Svejk. "With the skill of a spider, Bravi weaves stories that seem transparent, of agreeable humour, into which readers fall like flies, discovering that, at the centre of the plot, there's a fierce, formidable writer."
