Description

A partir de la historia literaria y personal del escritor uruguayo Enrique Amorim, y particularmente de su relación con el poeta español Federico García Lorca, se reconstruye lo más interesante de la escena artística entre las décadas de 1920 y 1960. Se confirman algunas verdades: Neruda era un hombre de amigos y enemigos entrañables; Aragon dominaba la vida cultural francesa; Quiroga vivía atormentado por sí mismo. Se despejan algunas dudas: Picasso fue ninguneado por el Partido Comunista; Chaplin fue absurdamente perseguido; Borges no sabía nada de fútbol. Pero, sobre todo, se abren interrogantes: ¿Amorim consiguió adueñarse del cadáver de García Lorca? ¿Es el cuerpo del poeta granadino el que se halla tras un monumento en la ciudad uruguaya de Salto? A través de una investigación a un lado y otro del Atlántico, Santiago Roncagliolo ha buscado responderlas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Santiago Roncagliolo takes the life of Uruguayan author Enrique Amorim--particularly his relationship with Spanish poet Federico García Lorca--to reconstruct the most interesting aspects of the artistic scene in the decades between the 1920's and 1960's. Truths are confirmed: Neruda was a man of profound friendships and enmities; Aragon dominated French cultural life; Quiroga lived in constant selftorment. Suspicions are cleared: Picasso was belittled by the Communist Party; Chaplin was preposterously hounded; Borges knew nothing of soccer. And new questions Roncagliolo strives to respond arise: Did Amorim seize García Lorca's remains? Are they buried in a monument in Salto, Uruguay?
