\"\"<\/a>Muchnik, Mario. Mario Muchnik: editor para toda la vida.<\/i> Conversaciones con Juan Cruz Ruiz. Madrid: Trama, 2021. 117 p. (Tipos m\u00f3viles; 32). ISBN 978-84-123283-2-5. 22 \u20ac.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

L\u2019edici\u00f3 d\u2019aquest llibre respon a l\u2019impuls de Manuel Ortu\u00f1o, editor de Trama Editorial, que ja disposa en el seu cat\u00e0leg de diversos t\u00edtols sobre importants editors, com Einaudi, Javier Pradera o \u00c9ric Vigne.[1]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> Obra sorgida a inst\u00e0ncies de Juan Cruz, que al seu torn va sentir l\u2019impuls de gravar les diferents converses que va tenir amb Mario Muchnik, en principi durant \u00abquinientas noches\u00bb per\u00f2 que la pand\u00e8mia, immisericordiosa, va reduir a unes poques. Potser per aix\u00f2 la lectura ens deixa amb la sensaci\u00f3 que aquesta vida de 90 anys dona per a un llibre molt m\u00e9s gruixut i que aqu\u00ed se\u2019ns n\u2019ofereix nom\u00e9s un petit anecdotari.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Per suposat que en l\u2019entrevista-conversa es parla sobretot de la relaci\u00f3 de Mario Muchnik (a partir d\u2019ara, MM) amb els grand\u00edssims autors que va editar, comen\u00e7ant per Jorge Guill\u00e9n (Y otros poemas<\/i>, primer llibre editat per Muchnik Editores el 1973). Tamb\u00e9 hi apareixen Cort\u00e1zar, Gore Vidal, Alberti i Carlos Barral, gran amic per\u00f2 amb qui la relaci\u00f3 va ser conflictiva, segons MM, pel seu car\u00e0cter especial\u00edssim i per disputes professionals entre editors. Hi ha un especial esment a la relaci\u00f3 amb Elias Canetti, que MM ja editava molt abans que li fos atorgat el Premi Nobel de Literatura l\u2019any 1981.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Una conversa on trobem a faltar alguna refer\u00e8ncia a l\u2019afer que van protagonitzar Juan Cruz i el mateix MM arran de la disputa pels drets d\u2019una novel\u00b7la de Nuria Amat, controvertida autora i exprofessora de la Facultat d\u2019Informaci\u00f3 i Mitjans Audiovisuals, els llibres de la qual havia estat editant MM i que Alfaguara, sota la direcci\u00f3 editorial de Cruz va arrabassar a Muchnik Editores. O tamb\u00e9 algun esment dels interessants conflictes amb la inevitable Carmen Balcells.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

La tasca d\u2019editor, her\u00e8ncia del seu pare don Jacobo, la va emprendre despr\u00e9s de deixar la seva professi\u00f3 de f\u00edsic nuclear, de la qual s\u2019enorgulleix de compartir amb Ernesto Sabato. El 1973 va crear Muchnik Editores, empresa que va durar fins el 1990, en qu\u00e8 per raons econ\u00f2miques va haver de tancar. El 1991, Germ\u00e1n S\u00e1nchez Ruip\u00e9rez, l\u2019omnipotent propietari del Grupo Anaya, va comprar l\u2019editorial a MM i la va convertir en Anaya & Mario Muchnik Editores, fitxant-lo a ell mateix com a director editorial fins que el 1997 el va despatxar. Despr\u00e9s ha publicat coses al Taller de Mario Muchnik, un projecte molt m\u00e9s personal i limitat i on tamb\u00e9 va editar llibres de fotografies seves, una afici\u00f3 que l\u2019ha acompanyat des dels fets del Maig del 68 a Par\u00eds.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Entre 1982-1983 va exercir de director editorial de Seix Barral, que el grup Planeta acabava de comprar arran de la crisi del grup Ariel \/ Seix Barral, que va portar al tancament dels tallers d\u2019impremta a Esplugues i al rescat de l\u2019editorial per part de Jos\u00e9 Manuel Lara Hern\u00e1ndez, patriarca del grup Planeta. MM va seguir vinculat al grup Planeta com a vicepresident de Difusora Internacional fins el 2012.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ell mateix reconeix que no ha muntat un cat\u00e0leg coherent en el sentit que va definir Herralde, perqu\u00e8 li hauria agradat editar-ho tot. La realitat \u00e9s que en el seu cat\u00e0leg trobem des de grans \u00e8xits editorials com les mem\u00f2ries de Canetti, Los hijos del Grial<\/i> de Peter Berling o De part de la princesa morta <\/i>de Keniz\u00e9 Mourad fins a t\u00edtols ignorats pel p\u00fablic o irrellevants, molts d\u2019ells de tem\u00e0tica relacionada amb la causa jueva o d\u2019autors jueus. Tampoc ha sigut un bon gestor dels interessos econ\u00f2mics de les diferents editorials, que ha hagut d\u2019acabar tancant o venent.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Els qui estigueu interessats en el personatge podeu trobar les seves mem\u00f2ries a Lo peor no son los autores<\/i> i Banco de pruebas: memorias de trabajo, 1949-1999<\/i>, ambdues editades pel Taller de Mario Muchnik, Madrid 1999 i 2000 respectivament. Al final de Lo peor no son los autores <\/i>trobareu una llista completa dels 445 t\u00edtols que ha publicat en les diferents marques editorials que ha creat.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
