Mala Lengua / Bad Language: Un Retrato de Pablo de Rokha / A Portrait of Pablo de Rokha [Spanish]

By Álvaro Bisama

Una magistral cr?nica que retrata al poeta Pablo de Rokha, una de las figuras m?s combativas de la literatura, por uno de los autores chilenos m?s importantes hoy.

Deslenguado, siempre pol?mico, Pablo de Rokha atraves? buena parte del siglo ganando amigos y detractores, escribiendo una obra inmensa y fundamental, muchas veces desconocida, mientras la de sus compa?eros de generaci?n --entre ellos Mistral, Neruda y Huidobro-- comenzaba a hacerse conocida para el mundo. La suya es una historia llena de piezas extraviadas que ?lvaro Bisama reconstruye de forma admirable. C?mo fue arm?ndose su clan y familia, la fulminante historia de amor con Win?tt, su soledad como escritor, el relato de s? mismo que construy? en su obra, las muertes tr?gicas que enlutaron sus d?as, entre otras circunstancias, dibujan aqu? no solo la vida del poeta, sino tambi?n un momento hist?rico que vio nacer a los grandes genios de la poes?a chilena.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A masterful chronicle that portrays the poet Pablo de Rokha, one of the most combative figures in literature, by one of the most important Chilean authors today.

Foul-mouthed, always controversial, Pablo de Rokha spent much of the century winning friends and detractors, writing an immense and fundamental work, much of it unknown, while that of his contemporaries - among them Mistral, Neruda and Huidobro - began to become known to the world. His is a story full of lost pieces that ?lvaro Bisama rebuilds admirably. How his clan and family were assembling, the sudden love story with Win?tt, his loneliness as a writer, the story of himself that he built in his work, the tragic deaths that he mourned, among other circumstances, paint not only the life of the poet, but also a historical moment that saw the birth of the great geniuses of Chilean poetry.
