Gay In Public Showers

Carlos Calderón Fajardo. Human night. Cope editions. Lima, 2008. 252 pp. Several authors

According to the author, human The night could have been called Snowy The triptych. Let me disagree. This novel by Carlos Calderón Fajardo (eighth Publishing) had no chance to graduate otherwise. I do not think, also, and above all, concerned three nouvelles (which could sustain the temptation to call it 'three') because this is a great character-space: a dark Paris mystical dialectic, whose epiphany occurs in three chapters: "The ear of ecstasy", "The movements of silence" and "Life Interrupted" as an invention but substantially trill , which links the powerful quote from San Juan de la Cruz, to erase the boundaries of things and facts, and suggest the eternal against the force of enjoyment (sexual) and impotence at the urging (overwhelming and vulgar) of death. Eros and Thanatos in three stages and perfect unity, in spite of syphilis and mercury that healthy, TB and saving protection, metastasis and poetry that sanctifies.

"The ear of ecstasy", the first part of human The night would be-as is-a great introduction to the novel's central conflict: how to confront or respond aesthetically to the physical world. Fajardo Calderon uses the creative freedom to raise a period impossible to live fully and updated by one person, unless the person-subject-fiction supernatural sign a pact to get more years there due to him. The author addresses the question twice: getting not only the realistic probability but the possibility of a metaphysical solution.

In the introduction to the night human, Fajardo Calderon presents his characters in a particular everyday life, that is, without doubt, the advent of sleaze exquisite: a focused Paris in the 1930's. In this scenario charged for night and rapture, Helba Huara talks with Cesar Vallejo. The renowned dancer will share their sorrows to the great poet of love, pain that makes you promiscuous life of his girlfriend, Gonzalo More, lighting of Antonin Artaud. Gonzalo extraordinary fornicator, reincarnation of the god Dionysus, "is going to whores" with Henry Miller, serves as a model for Lawrence Durrell and sexual and literary powers to Anaïs Nin. And this holds and protects the marriage More-Huara, however Helba and Anaïs that are antagonistic. This table of characters "real" living independently as plotted by Calderón Fajardo under the umbrella of human Night, individual stocks are no less real but not available through biographies and documents in civil registers.

This boundary between those that existed, leaving evidence of his life and work, and were possibly the death-fading to be a matter of forgetting, "Calderón Fajardo novel designs and builds a sui generis, which boasts of his master narrative to grab the reader. But also, the author gives you the creative opportunity that to close or to conclude what this former teachers, who left to follow this story Dante structured in concentric circles. In this limit or no man's land rescues Calderón Fajardo Miluska intense presences Ginsburg-Snowy-and-tan Peruvian Calato naked to no name. Both are a couple strange and unreal, dreamy counterpoint marking a night of emphasizing the human as a dark version and instinctive acceptance of the barbaric contraband in an environment whose members pride themselves civilized, one of the most emblematic Western culture.

Peruvian surrealist poet, Snowy is Paris, the character cutting across the three strands of human The night that manages to survive, evade the order, becoming, rebirth, transmigration, and even reinvent "Reload." Is the weed that never dies, and is also good to smoke weed Antonio Salas writer and dancer Yvonne in "The movements of silence" through which the world becomes not a symbol but as a ghost Mallarmean laden postmodern avant-garde that is as surreal an aesthetic explanation looking for an ethical life correspondence with the point of interruption. Thus, the novel perspective of Calderón Fajardo, Paris is envisioning, in turn, as a city-light-in-shade to discover a new and revealing way title "The human night" .

Parisian experience Calderón Fajardo is poured in raging passion narrative swings knot of the novel is, in "The movements of silence." This space is worth considering a radical literary intention, avoiding at all costs a faithful and detailed reconstruction of the reality that haunts the writer Antonio Salas. Calderón Fajardo, through him, takes the path of creation with the same effort, but with better luck than his ill-fated character. Antonio Salas, protagonist of the second chapter, do not get reincarnated plenamente a Gonzalo More, pero logra, al menos, quizá porque parece moro, atarse a una francesa marginal, una pied noire —ciudadana francesa que residía en Argelia y que se vio obligada a salir de ese país tras el asesinato de sus padres—, una bailarina de ballet que en principio se proyecta como continuidad física de Helba Huara y que después se perfila como extensión emocional de Milú, hasta concluir la transformación y culminar la identidad Yvonne-Milú. Así, Calderón Fajardo flexibiliza y potencia la dimensión de sus personajes en otros sujetos de ficción con el objeto de exorcizarlos de sí mismos. Suerte de versión narrativa de lo que en psicoanálisis se denomina «transferencia» —ideas o sentimientos derivados de una situación anterior, que el paciente proyecta sobre su analista durante el tratamiento, del que es parte esencial— para «curar» al personaje de todo aquello que lo hace infeliz en cuerpo y espíritu.

Calderón Fajardo se proyecta o refleja en Antonio Salas y Carrasco F. no para ocultar su identidad sino para sortear lo biográfico y ser más fiel a sus recuerdos, es decir, a como él ha memorizado sus andanzas para convertirlas en referentes personales o experiencia. Encarnado como uno u otro —aprendiz de escritor o escritor joven— supera la necesidad de distraerse en detalles —el principal conflicto de Antonio Salas que luego heredará Carrasco F. cuando Yvonne meet and engage with Snowy, with a clear sense of offering the reader a wider scope of exploration, interpretation and creative responsibility to relate the facts and reflections. Also find Julio Ramón Ribeyro, by name, in "The movements of silence." Virgil is the guide to Antonio Salas to the dam of the lamb of history that haunts him: Helba Huara, at a gathering at the house of the Russian Désirée Lieven. Then Ribeyro appears become Pedro Pablo J. in "Life Interrupted" but not as a guide, but as another literary master sentenced to death, trapped like F. Carrasco and R. Amador by the charms of Snowy, who, in turn, drag and embodies the tradition of bohemian Paris Peru over half a century.

This stele of characters who are no longer to take other forms and identities from one chapter to another to be the same, after all, writing the same story, but, above all, experiencing the same pain and orgasm, gives to human Night a very particular way to refer to reality in terms of novelistic. The author gives the reader an idea of \u200b\u200brealistic fiction for both its unorthodox narrative development as the art of poetry that seeps stealthily through Antonio Salas and F. Carrasco in his literary wanderings. Risky position and brave to the extent permitted gender, literary realism as strength to the point of almost breaking it. Achieved thus realism mean anything intelligent, which actually shows a more fully holistic, well logically sequential and predictable. And the best part is that no sure ways to try to repeat published in Spain as the mood a novel in a remote Peruvian village controlled by terrorists and drug traffickers, and to support his story in journalistic issues, kidnappings, political petty corruption and mass graves. Nor choose to target templates to please those who believe the only serious literary work when "clone" certain works that have fallen to be ideological monuments can not be questioned because they shed light on the deep Peru, denounce the social injustice of the time depict violence or try to specify "how long we're screwed." Calderón Fajardo

not hesitate to take several licenses to be faithful to its principles of narrator committed to an aesthetic and a code that allows you to desecrate the blank. In effect, a writer who does not focus on editorial and marketing to sales success formulas that impose seals and commercial events. In human the night, prevailing literary, but the risk is the indifference of critics writers used to be intoxicated by the fashion power concentrated in a resume that will satisfy their literary agents across the pond.

As an outcome, "Life Interrupted" leads to a climax rootlessness and longing. Disease and death, elements or present in the action-reflection and dialogues of the characters finally meet a redemptive function of the triad-Pedro Pablo F. Carrasco-Amador R. J. to the Snowy almost supernatural figure, the great survivor of the horrors of war, ignorance and indifference. From the mythical-historical vision of Robert Graves, Snowy would be an archetypal woman, that is, the 'female': 'It's the devil that has triple fallen man as a mother, girlfriend and shrouded. The first five days of spinning the thread of his life, the second was flattered with the hope of fame, the third so corrupted with lust, the fourth lulls in the sleep of death, the fifth mourns his dead body. " Snowy-mask as well and Paris is even more disturbing, perhaps from the source of their survival, possibly when it manages to transcend the physical desire to possess Helba.

Night In human , Calderón Fajardo shows a history with the necessary local color to show the inside of Peru, but with sufficient discretion to avoid the scenery and folk customs and manners of a group Peruvians in Paris-which, incidentally, is offered devoid of the Eiffel Tower and other public areas of the former City of Light. As universal as Peruvian human The night is a key novel bio-bibliography of Carlos Calderón Fajardo, writer who has made a prominent place by dint of not being overcome by a literary space in which the banality and lack of trade is ignored because Strange is preferred to the good stuff to know.
