Overview
El libro inédito del gran escritor rioplatense que recoge las cartas que escribió entre 1987 y 1989 a su última mujer. Un testimonio valiosísimo de su universo literario y personal.
«Princesa, esto no es una carta para vos (¿qué te puedo decir que ya no te haya dicho, de bueno y de malo?), sino que, como otras veces, utilizo tu imagen de interlocutor privilegiado para desarrollar mi monólogo de búsqueda, buscando precisamente que tu imagen me ayude a no salirme demasiado de la razón».
Entre 1987 y 1989, mientras Mario Levrero vivía en Buenos Aires, trabajando en revistas de crucigramas para conseguir el dinero suficienteque le permitiera comprar lo que más anhelaba: tiempo para dedicarse a escribir, inició un romance con Alicia Hoppe, quien había sido la mujer de un viejo amigo y, más tarde, su médica personal, que lo acompañó durante años en sus devenires psicosomáticos. En ese momento, ella residía en Colonia, y estas cartas son testimonio del inicio y crecimiento de ese amor adulto y, también, registro literario de las obsesiones, temores e ilusiones de un singular escritor, con un poder de observación y análisis extraordinario.
Este libro inédito existe gracias a la cuidada edición de Ignacio Echevarría y la generosidad de Alicia, quien, como en aquellos años, una vez más despertó el alma rezagada del escritor, que a veces se perdía en sus propios laberintos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A collection of letters the great Uruguayan author wrote to his wife between 1987 and 1989. A unique testimony to Levrero’s literary and personal universe.
“Princess, this isn’t a letter to you (what can I tell you that I haven’t already said, both good and bad?). Like other times, I am using you as my sounding board to develop my searching monologue without straying too far from reason.”
Between 1987 and 1989, Mario Levrero lived in Buenos Aires and worked at crossword puzzle magazines to make enough money to do what he really wanted: write. During that time, he began a romance with Alicia Hoppe, the former wife of an old friend who later became his personal physician, guiding him through a series of psychosomatic episodes. At that time, Alicia lived in Cologne; the letters are a record of the birth and flowering of their mature love, as well as a literary chronicle of the obsessions, fears and illusions of a brilliant man with extraordinary powers of observation and analysis.
This book exists thanks to the careful curatorship of Ignacio Echevarría and the generosity of Alicia, who now, as in those days, has the power to recall the author’s soul from its wanderings.
