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.
