La estructura de Coincidencias de un editor (o el exorcismo de Joel Merl n) es interesante, novedosa sobre todo. Casi podr a decirse que no se ha le do un libro as , entretejido como una entrevista (puede ser un g nero muy propio para una novela sobre la vida de y en un peri dico), por lo que es de suponer que f cilmente va a despertar inter s. Esta novela retrata de forma ficticia el enmara ado, apasionante y al mismo tiempo apabullante mbito period stico, describiendo golpes bajos, contubernios con el poder, egos exacerbados, competencia desleal, amistades, lealtades, etc. El personaje de "El Nada" est realmente bien logrado. Porque en verdad lleg de la nada y dej nada, ni huella, ni escuela, ni su esencia como fantasma. Creo que en ese personaje se funde el punto de inflexi n de la debacle del peri dico, cuando su tarea era la de rescatarlo, levantarlo y llevarlo a un estadio en verdad profesional, pero fracas y les hizo sentir a todos que tambi n hab an fracasado al impedirles profesionalizar la redacci n. Hay frases en el libro realmente muy esclarecedoras de lo que ocurre en el periodismo hispano que se ejerce en Estados Unidos y que hacen recordar los a os de infortunio y frustraci n por lo que se dej de hacer o no se persigui , tanto por los diversos due os como por los ejecutivos que dirig an al diario. Y es esa falta de opciones para la esperanza: "Saber as que el mundo solamente es tragedia resulta dif cil de asimilar, le digo, y Joel reafirma: Este peri dico (y muchos otros) no te dan casi opciones para la esperanza". David Torres
