Tight Chest When Cold

BIRTHDAY AND FAREWELL FOR MY MOTHER, BOHEMIAN FOREVER SARAMAGO


When we do not yet recuperated from death José Saramago ( those who admired ) and at 15:00 hrs. we went from just learning that the same course Carlos Monsivais.




Although since April and was recovering in the hospital, his death was a surprising news, mainly because, at least for me, Monsivais was one of those people who think they can die (physically speaking ) . The last time I saw him (the month of December in Guadalajara ) looked happy, accessible and relatively safe.




Stay up to date, cutting edge, with a commentary acid sarcastic, funny (like the time he said his joy at being in León, Guanajuato. "bastion of Mexican leftism" or that "the whole country supported Pinochet ... least in León, of course ") and its peculiar style of narration, to describe ( read "Days to keep" and "Lost Love", some excellent works ), Carlos Monsivais was also the stereotype of the intellectual ( disheveled, messy and somewhat convoluted language ) successfully defended left his position and did not care to antagonize this to be true to its principles.




That was Carlos Monsivais, who is now gone physically, but he leaves a huge legacy of literature and an important collection of art and popular culture in Estanquillo Museum.



Lay your
in Peace, Carlos Monsivais
Here some notes on his death (in indicates that possible causes of pulmonary fibrosis were the dozens of cats )
In this, a little self-promotion and political opportunism, something totally lacking in this country (as comment Monsivais)
Another note that encompasses all ( the causes of his death, the Mexican political opportunism and a small tribute) with a touch of humor characteristic of Magoo.

Brent Everett = Brent Corrigan



From insurance salesman to Nobel Prize for Literature; Repairer watch a champion of social causes. So was Jose Saramago, a controversial author ( even Ernesto Zedillo of Mexico tried to deport ) and versatile.

As a tribute to his sudden and untimely death presented in this blog I made a small contribution to El Heraldo de Leon on March 7, 2004.


Rest in peace, one of the leading representatives of Portuguese literature.
