"I wanted to prove that a young writer , rock and movie buff can also be an author Universal Remote
of magical realism, the figure of the Colombian Andres Caicedo, who committed suicide at age 25, is recovered by the Chilean who launched his autobiography My Body is a cell .
Alejandra Zúñiga C.
seems an invention but is not. A young artist, lucid, eccentric, crazy and suicidal. Long hair and big glasses, surprised to learn that Andres Caicedo is not a character, especially when the presentation outside of her native Colombia makes the Chilean Alberto Fuguet, a writer who made youth experiences, urban and cinéphiles, some important his work.
My Body is a Cell (Editorial Norma) is the title of the book which retrieves Fuguet Caicedo figure through his letters, film reviews and multiple writings, the author developed through its 25 years of life almost compulsively. An early writer, hyperkinetic and introverted, that as tragic hero of romance ended his life few hours after editing the book Que Viva la Musica! , ingesting 60 tablets of Seconal.
"You're looking for heroes, writers not only in the book you like but you feel a connection, people feel it plays a similar subjects who think the same, in the bottom one is looking for friends, characters that look like friends you have in real life, "said Fuguet to LaTercera.com.
The writer became acquainted with the family of Caicedo as a fan either, ended up clicking the private universe of the author who met by chance in a library of Lima, when he approached attracted title of the film Eye, a book that met the film reviews made by the Colombian writer for a newspaper in Cali and its own magazine. However, Fuguet found it more than just a "friend", and found the "older brother McOndo, this anthology of young writers published by the author of Please Rewind and Sergio Gómez in 1996 and raised defiantly against magical realism, proposing a vision of a global and hyper territory where young people and their customs increasingly influenced by American culture are the protagonists.
"I had always attracted attention in America America does not have an equivalent to some European or American authors cities, the closest was Vargas Llosa and Manuel Puig but there was no Andrés Caicedo, as he felt someone was missing and then I realized that there but was hidden and also dead, " says, adding that "one of the topics that caught my attention is that it was Colombian, I believe that if it were from another country I would not dare to spend so much time on it, because it is fascinating that the same country that invented magical realism and I can not believe that the texts that appear in this book done while the movement was assembled. For example, I read One Hundred Years Soledad, which at that time was a new book, and despite enjoying not contaminated, I had a world so urban, so personal and so interested in the future, not dyed it. "MAKING OFF
Fuguet's intention with this book, which launches this Sunday at 19 pm at the Book Fair of Santiago, was clear: to do justice to a writer needed for the literary history of the continent, known in Latin America but true worship in Colombia, where "because bigotry in schools recite their letters and stories, gravestone was stolen from his grave, the girls walk around with T-shirts with his face and make signatures for a park in Cali you put your name" says.
A real rock star. With this in mind, the writer began his work of collecting the material with friends and family, but before long he realized that both the biography and the correspondence did not correspond to a character absent for the vast majority of readers, so the project became an autobiography told by himself through his writings.
"All I had very conflicting stories and I realized they were talking over their experiences with him on the same Caicedo, who had told me stories very intense friendship with him, drugs, love, and it was impossible this type could have written both a life of dizzying, so easy to read I realized that if you edited, could transform many of his letters in texts, in a story. He wanted to prove that a young writer, rock musician, film buff and a drug addict can also be an author for all ages, the goal was to cut his hair, play with it, and I think they did, "he says.
However, in the supicacias how much assembly was involved in the conduct of the book, defended his work Fuguet clarifying that "never altered, did not lie, all you wrote is the dedication in which he summarized his feelings and literal phrases, and likewise had letters in which I saw he was going around the bush, very nice letter in which he spoke of both the time and who owed him money, then I manipulate the order but the dates are all real, and there is also time I realized that he was more and more to the bottom "he says.
