tireless and prolific: more than one hundred plays, nine novels, a half dozen novella, two volumes of short stories, plus scripts for television and film.
Before the sun lit the morning, Emilio Carballido up to the third floor of his home to his studio to write. That was until his death. It did not stop one day to build a path of letters. Even very ill after a stroke, unable to take the pen, confessed to Sabina Berman: "I'm dictating. Dictated stories and two books, one for children, another adult, and I'm working on two new works that I have drawn ... "
tireless and prolific: more than one hundred plays, nine novels, a half dozen novella, two volumes of short stories, plus scripts for television and film. On May 22, meet 86 years, born in Cordoba, Veracruz, in 1925, Emilio Carballido died just three, 11 February 2008.
remains his legacy. The General Directorate of Publications is for giving Conaculta released four new works: Conversation among the ruins , A large bouquet of roses , En-Dor and Eli, or bedroom misused , an event no doubt that hopefully will not go unnoticed: Carballido is the most important playwright of the second half of the twentieth century Mexico.
If anyone doubts this, go as a cascade of opinions from people with knowledge of the theater:
Humberto Leyva, author of Nature Marlon Brando dead : "There is an outline of postmodernism on new artists and Emilio Carballido was raised from 50. It is the cornerstone of Mexican theater, which raised awareness and identity in the middle class. "
Mauricio Jimenez, one of the best contemporary directors: "A writer immersed in the reality of intuition that leads us to dream, desires, passions more hidden. I now amount Xalapa one version to the translation that he and Luisa Josefina Hernández do the work of Arthur Miller, The Crucible , A literary delight. A Carballido must always return. "
Luis Mario Moncada, author of Nine days of war in Facebook : "It is the bridge of tradition and modernity. He is the Mexican theater, much more than Rodolfo Usigli. Record, someone tells you that has nothing to do with his work because I'm closer to the drama of Leñero Vicente. "
Ricardo Ramírez Carnero, who masterfully led one of his texts, Written on the body of the night : "He is an author advanced. "Someone who has written manners iron shoes , which has nothing to do with manners or what we mean by national folklore? It is bad faith of their opponents. "
Carballido had a solitary vice: the theater. Life rewarded him with success, even now that is no longer with us. In Russia have just published three of his works: I also speak of the rose , Rosa two aromas and other do not know. In France, only the year Last published his novel visits devil. Currently represented in Murcia and Galicia (Spain), and Brazil, Orinoco, the same piece as the dawn of the twenty-first century opened in Paris.
In August, under the theater festival that bears his name in Cordoba premiered his only opera, with music by Lorena Orozco, Lobby , another cultural event.
If everything else is not news, I do not know what it means to journalism. In Mexico accustomed away success of others from scorn, neglect, or envy. Hopefully no one fails to Emilio Carballido the publication of these new works.
