Pitol: a homage
---
week back to the routine could not have started better. Culture again Puebla and Veracruz are celebrating, as the writer who shared in recent days received the highest decoration awarded by the INBA: The gold medal was awarded in the room Manuel M. Ponce de Bellas Arts representing Teresa Franco Sergio Vela, director of Conaculta. And all this was framed by the 75th anniversary of the author of The Art of Fugue .
-
novelist, short story writer, essayist and translator belonging to the "generation of half a century," "Lake House" or "generation of 32" was honored by his friends Enrigue Álvaro, Carlos Monsivais, Mario Bellatin and Margo Glantz , in addition to the presence of other writers such as Jorge Volpi, Federico Campbell, Carlos Pellicer Camara, Maria Luisa Mendoza, Jose de la Colina, Consuelo Sáizar, Sealtiel Alatriste, Joaquin Diez-Canedo, Enrique Gonzalez Pedrero, Anamaria Gomis, Myriam Moscona and Rosa Beltran. All readers, learners and heirs of Sergio Pitol.
-
Not long ago, within the framework of the Book Fair Mining, Pitol presented his latest book Trilogy of Memory edited by Anagram, which is simply the collection of his three monumental books : The Art of Fugue, The Journey and The Wizard from Vienna. In the event said he was considering leaving the pen, fearing that with age is also losing quality.
-
Pitol still do not know if already made a decision regard. One would like a book more of our most representative writer internationally, but perhaps the right to exercise his waiver is also healthy and necessary to leave intact its achievements and maintaining a pleasant memory full of grandeur. I am convinced that Pitol not stop writing, probably only reserves the right to publish by a sense of self or simply arguing that it has nothing important to say.
-
say that only the big-time know when to quit.
-
One such reader believes that Pitol still can give us more. The last word belongs to him and nobody else, we will be waiting.
- Reflection
fleeting: The PMU headed and well directed by Henry Agüera Ibáñez, just hang up the success with the completion of WorldMUN. I recommend you keep an eye on the Arts, because soon some students with "great cultural vision" is to tarnish the image of the university to organize the National Student Congress Literature , the quality is good if it were a court meeting local. Hopefully Alejandro Palma, director of the Faculty of Arts of the PMU, in whom I have great faith and hope, take action on the matter and demarcation of this great failure.
