Summary

Juan Octavio Prenz: Excess identity

Argentine writer Juan Octavio Prenz was born in 1932 in an emigrant family, in the port town of Ensenada de Barragan, not far from the city of La Plata, and he gained his first experiences in a neighborhood where "everyone was foreign" and where "all the languages of the world" were spoken. Before us is a kind of bildungs novel, about waking up and growing up in an emigrant environment, and its real protagonist is the settlement itself. There are few writers who can write about emigrant life with such authority, based on personal experience.
His ancestors were from Istria. On his way around Europe, and in search of his roots, he stayed in Belgrade, and then in Trieste. And then in parallel in Argentina. Juan Octavio Prenz is literally a citizen of the world.

In the autobiographical novel Excess of Identity, with deep humanism, specifically Argentinian humor and unique gentle irony, he shows the environment in which he grew up and the life stories of quite ordinary people. The bright atmosphere of this novel is not absent even on the pages where death is discussed.
Latin American literature of the second half of the twentieth century is mainly characterized by an eccentric point of view and an unusual narrative climate. In such a key, somewhere between Borges's ironic fantasy and Márquez's magical realism, today Prens writes his prose, which could be freely defined as "bizarre realism". Prenz's novels have been translated into various languages.
The novel Excess of Identity was published in Argentina in 2013.
The Serbian edition is the first translation into a foreign language.
