El amante uruguayo

Synopsis

A partir de la historia literaria y personal del escritor uruguayo Enrique Amorim, y particularmente de su relacion con el poeta espanol Federico Garcia Lorca, se reconstruye lo mas interesante de la escena artistica entre las decadas de 1920 y 1960. Se confirman algunas verdades: Neruda era un hombre de amigos y enemigos entranables; Aragon dominaba la vida cultural francesa; Quiroga vivia atormentado por si mismo. Se despejan algunas dudas: Picasso fue ninguneado por el Partido Comunista; Chaplin fue absurdamente perseguido; Borges no sabia nada de futbol. Pero, sobre todo, se abren interrogantes: Amorim consiguio aduenarse del cadaver de Garcia Lorca? Es el cuerpo del poeta granadino el que se halla tras un monumento en la ciudad uruguaya de Salto? A traves de una investigacion a un lado y otro del Atlantico, Santiago Roncagliolo ha buscado responderlas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Santiago Roncagliolo takes the life of Uruguayan author Enrique Amorim particularly his relationship with Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca to reconstruct the most interesting aspects of the artistic scene in the decades between the 1920 s and 1960 s. Truths are confirmed: Neruda was a man of profound friendships and enmities; Aragon dominated French cultural life; Quiroga lived in constant selftorment. Suspicions are cleared: Picasso was belittled by the Communist Party; Chaplin was preposterously hounded; Borges knew nothing of soccer. And new questions Roncagliolo strives to respond arise: Did Amorim seize Garcia Lorca s remains? Are they buried in a monument in Salto, Uruguay?
