Full Episodes Of Intervention



Puig had an austere life in New York and taught weekly at the University of Columbia, as writer in residence. However, often suffered nightmares commando groups taking by assault the monkey Charcas street environment, in Buenos Aires.
This was the period of writing of Kiss and Curse. Puig rented in the West Village a replica of the department of Buenos Aires. The environment of friends and relationships are valued himself charming camp and smiled for the rest of the world with irony kitsch. Puig fit in the West Village by wistful lucidity and was admired by his environment, because of being a writer known beyond the circle of gay literature. However, did not bind to the forty-five years, or was no longer desired in the group made up mostly of young "sisters" or "daughters."
Her parents lived in Argentina. Beginning in 1976, and for three years, followed her mother will travel to New York. Arrived for the season of Broadway musicals and opera at the Metropolitan. Puig recruit "nannies" to accompany his mother to the Theater 80, when he preferred watching old movies on television or in Cinemaphilia, a cinema club that had become habituated. I saw two or three films a day. Systematically consulted the archives of MoMA.
Among the films, were selected from melodromas Nazis, which would start reflecting on the conjunction between the splendor of Hollywood and the Nazi ideology, a crossing that relationships always involves sexual attraction or love. In other words, noted that sexual relationships are explicit devices where the prevailing political incorrectness. This impropriety arose Kiss.
One day, the group camp was surprised by a new friend of Puig: a thirty-something, which the writer had met in the pool which was the noon. No spark, some obese, the friends of the West did not understand that drew Puig with that guy. Puig might have seen things in the new friend that he was missing. On the one hand, the friend was a professional, but by the time he was unemployed. It was not a foreigner like Puig, ie was home, or, better put, had a country that despite all welcomed the U.S.. For his part, Puig felt rejected. His books blacklists integrated in their country, while in France and Italy were not published because their titles are not formed the recent literature that came from Latin America are expected. Neither did well to Kiss in New York, which had been considered unoriginal and heavy because of the appointments. Puig
lived in need. He was concerned about elderly parents. Pleased the mother and cared for or care about each other. But the father remained in Argentina and did not deal much Puig.
The type of the old city pool worked temporarily. Puig negotiated specific citations, and emboss the talks. Had begun to concoct pages Damn, conceived as the raw transcript of those discussions, but needed a partner to that voice, biased by the frustrations and limited in their aspirations and imagine an old invalid who has lost his memory or conservation as fragments. The father Puig be that voice senile.
definitely would shape dialogue eternal curse, and also shaped the kiss, two works of confrontation to the most crucial stage, perhaps, in Puig's life: the years in New York.

Kanacca Secret Review




"I think the last edition of Don Quixote will last several centuries, has historical items such as Ayala and De Riquer. The issue is making extraordinary Francisco Rico, "says Jeanmaire something before lamenting the" very obvious mistakes " the prologue by Mario Vargas Llosa. "On one hand, to say that this is not a parody, which is the greatest tribute that could be done to the books of chivalry, is a son of the romantic error, which were rescued from the dump," says Don Quixote. Gone one hundred years without making this look: now proved that it was a parody and that people laughed when first published. For most it is nice to say that is the epitome of a genre, is a lie. Another amazing thing to say is that Don Quixote is mad, which is like a metaphor, an allegory, if not insane, the work would lose much of adventures. The guy comes out to have adventures and fame, not to restore any horse out, and justice in the world, says Vargas. Then grab a paragraph in which Quixote Sancho makes a brief parliament on freedom, after having been 28 chapters in the Castle of the Dukes, today we would say hijacked, and Don Quixote sees as a precursor of liberalism. It's crazy. If I were a Marxist, could catch the speech he makes about the golden age in Chapter 11 and say that there's a precursor of Marxism, would be the same barbarity. And make many mistakes, says he is modern because it has two narrators, all horses had two texts, the modern work of Don Quixote is the emergence of lots of writers, not two. He says that is modern, too, because it has many interpolated stories: that is the most ancient of world literature. The Bible is. That's on the Gilgamesh. I have no authority to discuss with Vargas Llosa, but enables me Don Quixote, he is leading the homage of a whole language to its greatest book, and use three of fourteen pages to talk about a political idea is an outrage. "

Favorite Café Fernando Pessoa, who is named in O da morte year and reviewed by Ricardo Reis obliquely in at least three innings old.




[...] by Rua dos Sapateiro to below the Conceição, from there, turning to the left, Augusta, front again, says Ricardo Reis standing, went into the Café Martinho, and Fernando Pessoa, with sudden movement, would be imprudent, the walls have eyes and good memory, another day we can go there safely that I recognize, is a matter of time. They stood under the arch, Ricardo Reis closed the umbrella and said, although not come to mind, Ando tempted to install, open a clinic, then does not return to Brazil, why, is difficult to answer if I do not even know an answer, say I'm like an insomniac who found the exact place pillow and finally will be able to fall asleep, If it came to sleep, good soil is this, understand the comparison in reverse, ie that if I accept the dream is to dream, dream is absent, is on the side of there But life has two sides, Pessoa, at least two, the other only sleep we got, tell that to a corpse that you can answer with a fact of experience to know that the other side of life no more than death, I do not know what death is, but I think it is that the other side of life that speaks of death, I believe, is limited to being, death is, there is, So, being and existence are not identical, no, dear Reis, be and there just are not identical because the two words we have at our disposal, the contrary, precisely because they are not identical, have the two words and use them. There under that arch, playing, while the rain was tiny lakes in the square and then gathered in larger lakes were puddles, not this time Ricardo Reis go to the pier to watch the waves break, starting to say this to himself to remember I had been here and looking to the side saw that Fernando Pessoa walked away, only now noticed that he is nothing short pants, seemed to go on a litter, at last heard his voice next, even if it was there before, will continue this conversation another day Now I have to go, Far in the rain, waved his hand, but not goodbye, again.
