the garden across the yard was full of debris. papers, books burned and broken glass and in the house the situation was no better. .

without electricity, the wake was the old, lighting only by candles and without this authority . Something almost impossible to believe a couple of years earlier, when Neruda won the Nobel and was a influential politician, diplomat and presidential candidate of the Communist Party.

“That gray coffin, without pomp, no candles, no crowns, placed at one end of the piece and adorned only with two white roses seemed to cut quickly, gave a sense of loneliness. Under the glass, resting on a satin face Neruda seemed reduced, unreal, “says Apuleius Mendoza.

One gray coffin, no pomp, no candles, no crowns, placed at one end of the piece and adorned only with two white roses rush seemed cut “

the human at that time was not his face, but the plaid shirt that had been open at the neck and the sack tweed : a sportswear which suggested placid Sunday Isla Negra “

“On the ballot box intact as the first day, the Chilean flag even without the slightest damage. Nobody speaks in that slow and very ritual and intimate transfer-procession (…) the soft squeak of rubber wheels small hearse seem to say and repeat each stretch: there is no greater solitude than death “

<. strong> from the opulence of the mausoleums, the former Nobel prize and Chilean diplomat was taken to a niche in one of the most popular sectors of the cemetery , “closer to the land and people,” said Quezada.

The music service streaming Tidal describes the new work of Beyoncé as a “trip of any woman to his self-knowledge and healing.”

the Swiss psychiatrist Elisabeth Kubler-Ross in 1969 defined phases that comprise: intuition, denial, anger, bargaining, and acceptance emotional pain.

That is why, explains the newspaper, that the beginning of the musical work is violent and heartbreaking, while the final presents a kind of reconciliation of the artist herself.

-Extraordinariamente. and understood. I’ve been to the Alhambra day and night, often against the backdrop of the towering Sierra Nevada, and there is nothing comparable in the world. His “discovery “by foreign travelers nineteenth century strongly influenced romanticism. And Lorca, as often said, is a romantic.

what showed” the story of the treasure “, filmed in Granada?

He is a “film” made by Lorca and three friends with snapshots in the Alhambra, I think in 1918, with the poet in the role of guardian of the treasure, whom murder. I’ve seen the five shots in the sequence, I do not know if there were more. One year later, he developed a ceremony in which he lay on the ground and represented his death, burial and slow putrefaction, so convincingly that all the witnesses were horrified. He managed to pass to his own fear, thus freeing them provisionally thereof. Dalí told me it was terrifying: he rose from the floor laughing and went to the quiet bed, While his friends could not sleep! I do not know the root of that obsession represent his death, but throughout his work. Even, there are verses that says he killed … and searched without finding his remains. It’s creepy.

Are you still thinking that Lorca is buried in Alfacar? ¿Advisor search Malaga promoting historian Miguel Caballero?

Yes. I have no part in the current search, although I know the work of Knight and to him personally. I hope the Government of Andalusia allows them to continue working, do not understand the delay. It is very important to follow. If there are remains about 400 meters from where they sought some years ago, we must return to the site of the initial search.

What do you think about the statements “Vanity Fair” Laura Garcia Lorca, the poet’s niece, stating that “what is done with the remains of a person is a matter for his family”? She does not support the search.

‘It’s not normal that all his family is against, like a pineapple, without a single dissenting voice. I think they know more than what they say. There is a possibility that the remains were changed site. Maybe soon we know more about it. On the other hand, no one is asking that the remains are removed from where they are, if the family does not want. We just want to know where they are exactly. Not good for anyone that the poet remains a missing person.

Do you think the poet’s tragic end still bothers Spanish society and prevents full recognition of his work?

-Spain as a state has not yet faced the atrocious unresolved issue of the victims of the Franco regime. Still in ditches and mass graves killed more than 100,000, of which the poet is the most famous. I consider it a shame.

-Who Garcia Lorca read today?

‘I can not speak for Latin America, but I know that in Spain lot is read Lorca and constantly replenished his plays. Currently, interested much its most advanced stage, surreal trend: “Public” and “So spend five years”

“I end my lorquiana task”

Laura García Lorca says the murder of his uncle “was a political crime and that no doubt”, categorically ruling out the hypothesis that he was killed by a homosexual. Are you okay?

-A Lorca hated that publicly defined himself as “the worst bourgeoisie in Spain”. I hated him for his political ideas, well known for being a gay, liberal for his family, his fame, the money he earned with his theater, his gifts … for everything! And there was the plot of villager rancor. We must understand that no one was apolitical in that Spain. Since the premiere of “Yerma” in December 1934, Lorca is considered by rights a sworn enemy. Nor did nothing helped the “Romance of the Spanish Civil Guard.”

-Ediciones B and Penguin Random House reissued the main books that you have written about Garcia Lorca, including his monumental biography (1985-1987). Will updated editions?

-In the case of the biography, is a revised edition from beginning to end. It took me nine months of work since its inception because there are many new materials. Instead, The man who betrayed García Lorca and Lorca-Dalí, the love that could not be not required, luckily, a review so thoroughly.

Do you think the edition of the complete Works of Miguel García Lorca Garcia Posada made for Gutenberg Galaxy can be considered definitive? A critical edition is needed? Would you be willing to work on it?

final -Edition I guess there will never be, but Garcia Posada is arguably the most comprehensive, and critical, to date. No, I would not be willing to work on the preparation of another. With these new editions lorquiana I end my task.

‘What the second part of his biography of Luis Buñuel going?

‘ Unfortunately, there is no such second part. He never got the promised funding by the autonomous community of Aragon. And there is no turning back. I’m sorry, but it is too late.

Do you work on a new book?

Yes, I will make a large book, relaxed, on the Iberian Peninsula, I consider a magical space. Dream, as did Jose Saramago, the Federal Republic Iberian. I’m just another romantic. Within a few days I will start a visit to La Mancha, the land of Don Quixote (I just reread the great novel). I want to start the book there. Then I will go to Portugal, a country almost unknown in Spain. It seems incredible, when two steps.

It’s known his family ties with Chile. Is there a trip in perspective? Have you thought about writing a book about a Chilean poet or the close relationship between Neruda and Lorca?

I was at Santiago two years ago and would love to return, but first I have to finish my adventure book Iberian. As for a book about another poet, I do not think. I need to change course and my current project is giving me a great opportunity. I hope to be able to bring it to fruition before the end of the year. Then we’ll see.

Why García Lorca has permeated both you and become the author who has devoted his entire life?

I began to know his work when he was 18 years and now I just turned 77. I am deeply moved by its subject and its telluric background. Lorca is with those who suffer, his message is profoundly Christian, and he said of himself that he was a “telluric poet.”
