Mazeyres For Orlando Guillén is necessary that the writers in the making of the White City, exonerated by free choice of an unnecessary and obsolete literary parricide, we surrender to a lavish work of fiction that, from the rough to the very complex Jaguar Roger Casement Irish adventurer, to the dictator Manuel Apolinario Odría, the champs, the troubled Zavalita, the ineffable Pedro Camacho, the gourmet Don Rigoberto, the obsessive Pantaleon Pantoja, Flora Tristan and the idealistic to the execrable Dominican Goat, thank you, the greatest novelist who was born at the foot of the Misti volcano, for telling those lies witches that conceal a deeper truth. However, any adjective or gesture will sink into the morass of unfortunate cliches: are thousands of readers and writers who have borne witness to our gratitude for the work vargasllosiana, for making us part of that becoming dotted with virtues, dreams, eccentricities, trips and misery of these characters who Lituma, if they have not made our lives better at least have become more intense, lively and interesting.
in MVLL acknowledge, before an outstanding creator of fictions, a prodigious manual (reading, to be exact, The fish in the water ) of how a human being can be given entirely to activities in a corrosive and stimulating : writing as a peremptory command, and reading as a fuel that is transformed into an act of faith. The Nobel Prize in Arequipa is the quintessential intellectual icon in this country so in need of heroes and contemporary cultural references.
With MVLL have a symbolic debt to be repaid when we return to his work or, in any case, when for the first time we start taste with pleasure. Although it sounds like a truism, it must be said: in each of his characters inhabit a piece of it, and in some (or many) of these pieces, for better or for worse, all we can (we ought to) recognize.
In 1967, to be awarded the Rómulo Gallegos in Caracas, author of War doomsday left said that literature is fire. Today, we named it with a Arequipeño Illustrious unfathomable justice, ie, a compatriot of emergency, revere mistiano portentous literary art and ratify his sentence, and add convinced that the sacred fire is more alive than ever in each of the stories who tell their novels. If literature is fire, then the flame ignited in the heart of every reader won for fiction, non-combustible acquire a character as long as the desire to create other worlds born from the womb of those who, like him, have the master key that will allows access to all doors, attics, basements, back rooms, contrast and edges of the colorful human condition. Today we celebrate the fabulous
that restless, striving for omniscience chimeric try to capture reality through fiction, the shining star of Peruvian letters, when someone asks him if, as happens with most writers, usually deter those who dream of being writers, he is quick to say no, because one always, and regardless, should obey his calling, and make this a unique and exclusive dedication, an easement freely chosen, because the race chose is beautiful, allowing many lives, cope with the frustrations and failures of a victorious way, making raw material for other lives. Well the best thing that has happened is dedicating his life to literature .
Success is a huge incentive, "says our universal Arequipa, but for a writer who has a profound vocation, in the end, the greatest reward is able to devote his life to writing. Today
summon and evoke all Arequipa who dedicated his life to literature, and we do it through Lorenzo Mariano Melgar Valdivieso, poet and national hero, a martyr of Umachiri, who, devoured by a precocious for the arts, a love and an immeasurable unrequited desire libertarian, filled his short life of passion, paroxysms and memorable poems worthy of any fictional character.
Your dream has come true, Don Mario, and if you allow us, through you we pay tribute to all those who preceded him. Today we say that his books are above any awards or recognition and we are convinced will the test of time. Because, friends and strangers, in Arequipa, Piura, Lima, Tacna and anywhere in the world, readers not habemos not told the truth by saying that their magic storyteller changed our lives. Nobody is the same (or no one should be the same) after reading books like The Green House, Conversation in the Cathedral , The Storyteller or Paradise on the other corner ! Day by day, book by book, through sensitivity, we have become aware of how boring and monotonous it can be the life of most human beings, and, in turn, as rich, uplifting and intense that it can convert existence that splits into many. Thank
fiction we've discovered that not one but many. And today many of us, beyond our belief, political clothing, skin color or nationality, we stand to say thank you, master! Thanks for the many lives lived, thanks for the perpetual fire which is the literature that bears his signature: Nobel Laureate and Distinguished Citizen with the weight of their books not only could crush people, but armies of confused people in these defects still force as religious fundamentalism, racism, nationalism, and so on. Today our rejuvenates and injects anthem of faith: as Mario Vargas Llosa is volcanic lava, the personification of our revolutionary character. Mario Vargas Llosa is Arequipa, a bastion of freedom!
