En sus relatos, los cracks provienen de suburbios. Traen la rebeldía, el talento y la irreverencia a flor de pies. Son náufragos aferrados desesperadamente a un balón milagroso que hará estallar de alegría a estadios colmados de hinchas para quedar en la memoria colectiva. La pelota y sus circunstancias se plasman con agilidad, lucidez y de un seductor encanto que, con brochazos precisos, retratan la intimidad del hombre en una cancha. Cuentos inolvidables como «Lamento por Manuel Araya», «Crónica del enano bueno para la pelota» o «La diosa del Bambino de Oro», generan un encuentro del lector con esas historias sagazmente contadas, que contienen el camino donde las alegrías y adversidades son una tentativa común.

The essays in Canadian Cultural Exchange / Échanges culturels au Canada provide a nuanced view of Canadian transcultural experience. Rather than considering Canada as a bicultural dichotomy of colonizer/colonized, this book examines a field of many cultures and the creative interactions among them. This study discusses, from various perspectives, Canadian cultural space as being in process of continual translation of both the other and oneself. Les articles réunis dans Canadian Cultural Exchange / Échanges culturels au Canada donnent de l’expérience transculturelle canadienne une image nuancée. Plutà ́t que dans les termes d’une dichotomie biculturelle entre colonisateur et colonisé, le Canada y est vu comme champ oÃ1 plusieurs cultures interagissent de manià ̈re créative. Cette étude présente sous de multiples aspects le processus continu de traduction d’autrui et de soi-mÃame auquel l’espace culturel canadien sert de théâtre.
