Fantasma escritor
Ezequiel Zaidenwerg
NOVEL | 2026 | 168 pages
Convinced that trauma resists translation and that writing and translation are—to some extent—one and the same, Ezequiel Zaidenwerg embarks on his debut narrative venture: a fractured chronicle exploring the lights and shadows of that sometimes nurturing, sometimes devastating institution known as the family.
As if the goal of these genealogical investigations were not merely to understand the origin of his compulsion to translate, but also to explore happier ways of living and relating, Zaidenwerg sets out to find alternative families defined by respect, reciprocity, and joy. Driven by a rhythmic prose that begs to be read aloud, he gives musicality to this quest while retracing the path that separates the translator from the writer.

“In Writing Ghost, Ezequiel Zaidenwerg turns his restless intellect toward the phantoms that make us: family, language, grief, desire, inheritance. Zaidenwerg, who through his newsletter El poema de hoy has made poetry and translation a form of rendezvous, now delivers an intimate yet shining debut novel, vulnerable and formally alive. This is a book about translation as a way of being in the world: the art of listening to what surrounds us and finding the words that might just allow us to say I.”
