IN MEMORY OF MACEDONIAN FERNÁNDEZ
phrase obsessively remembering the Argentine writer Macedonio Fernandez, who teaches us to see the other side of things: "The room was so empty that there was no a longer absence, of which I found a version of La Paz in the confidence of a Municipal Theatre ticket sellers: "Empty is. Harta people have not come."
A Macedonian could come up as naturally as an apology like this: "Dear Borges: I went to visit him at his home, but halfway I realized that I had not left mine." I quote from memory.
If a writer does not learn to mend the phrases, concepts, common places like socks, you can pursue a more lucrative profession.
Macedonio had the grace and agility of a writer who is as if breathing. Belonged to the lineage of artists who are not committed to posterity, success, glory or even the publication of his texts.
The proof is that "Novel
write. Ah, is that just? What was Macedonian? With an air autism wandered in the mazes of his mental magma. So Jorge Guillermo Borges (the father of the famous Borges) Macedonio told Farniente (Italian for "doing nothing").
was master teacher, writer's writer. His mood and disconcerting flashes dazzled his imagination as well as Borges and Cortazar, in fact, several generations of Argentine writers. This apostolic humility Cortazar this lack of interest in all utilitarianism, are echoes of Macedonian detachment so-called "build a name." What a lesson for young writers and elderly who are eager to seek state recognition, culture prizes, awards, crowns gay know!
Analysts often compare his case with the bitterness of Luis Cernuda life she missed in recognition of his contemporaries, or the disappointment of Cervantes to see that his work did not make much impact on readers of his age; or Herman Melville, who left office despite having written his masterpiece, "Moby Dick" or Karamazov himself in his novel Demons acid and a portrait of a glorious envious contemporary, Ivan Turgenev.
However, as the works of Franz Kafka, Fernando Pessoa, the Macedonio was just that though, and increasingly, in the collective memory, even though all three lost interest by Vanity Fair literary coteries. What are embarrassed, however, those writers in search of a prologue, please, to consecrate, or a written critique induce public opinion to praise, to say nothing of the "marketers" who publish something and are revealed to provide the product as if it were a new detergent.
