«Luis Humberto Crosthwaite hace en cada relato una reflexión sobre el cuento como la más exigente de las artes marciales. -Martín Solares
El último show del Elegante Joan da título a una colección de cuentos donde el hilo conductor es la poesía, la música y la literatura. Un ejercicio de metaficción que aborda, desde el humor, la autorreferencia y los mecanismos propios de la escritura. Inicia con una carta de protesta, en donde los personajes del libro se quejan por haber sido maltratados por el escritor. En sus páginas desfilan poetas shaolines dispuestos a batirse a duelo; una editora panameña decidida a publicar la novela que revolucionará la literatura mundial; un joven montacarguista que por un día se transforma en compositor de corridos; el mejor y más amoroso imitador de Joan Sebastian; personajes literarios que son reclutados por una agencia de colocación para participar en una novela. Al final, un personaje se revela y reta al autor a terminar el libro sin él.
Elegant Joan's Final Show is the title of a collection of short stories where the main themes are poetry, music, and literature. A metafiction exercise that addresses self-referencing and the mechanisms of narrative with humor. It begins with a letter of protest, where the characters complain about being mistreated by the author. Through its pages we see a parade of shaolin poets willing to fight, a Panamanian editor set on publishing a novel that will revolutionize world literature, a young forklift operator who becomes a corrido composer for one day, the best and most amorous Joan Sebastian impersonator, literary characters recruited by a head-hunting agency to participate in a novel. At the end, a character is revealed and challenges the author to finish the book without him. With a fine humor and nonchalance, Luis Humberto Crosthwaite delivers his most mature and introspective work. At the same time, he reminds us in each story that literature, as both craft and art, doesn't have to be solemn nor boring.
