Description:
«Su obra goza del tinte de lo secreto, de lo cotidianamente inolvidable, de la amable tibieza que deja lo pequeño». -Pablo Montoya
Figura central y a la vez esquiva de la literatura colombiana del siglo XX, Tejada fue un renovador precoz: escribió desde el periodismo, pensó desde la poesía y murió demasiado pronto para ver su obra reunida. Esta antología, preparada por Pedro Carlos Lemus, rescata y ordena una escritura dispersa en textos breves, ensayos mínimos, relatos fronterizos--.
"His work carries a touch of the secret, of the everyday yet unforgettable, of the gentle warmth that small things leave behind." -- Pablo Montoya
A central yet elusive figure in 20th-century Colombian literature, Tejada was an early innovator: he wrote from journalism, thought from poetry, and died too soon to see his work brought together. This anthology, prepared by Pedro Carlos Lemus, recovers and organizes a body of writing scattered across brief texts, miniature essays, and boundary-crossing narratives. In Little Everyday Things, Luis Tejada turns his gaze to what often goes unnoticed: a tie, a cat, a street, an ordinary afternoon. With agile, ironic, and deeply sensitive prose, the everyday opens up as an unexpected territory, filled with wonder, humor, and insight. More than a century later, these pages still remind us that small things, when truly observed, are never insignificant.
