... But if you learn to write better, make any little lack of color, with the words you have them all. CB
Dream Carmen

your bed is an ocean, that the book is the ship and the fountain pen, its rudder. She, of course, is the captain and his characters, amazing and motley crew. Carmen Has epic hunger and thirst. Nothing contains all the overflows. "I'm more of opera bolero," says Carmen Boulton, loyal fan Katherine Mansfield and Jane Austen, yet unable to concentrate like them for domesticity, that is by itself, the ink is loaded. "I love cooking, but I'm not noodle soups but sumptuous banquet ... I love the hype." There on the bed can remain Carmen whole days and, if left, years, clad in a nightgown and sheets stained with ink hopelessly loaded, but "my back and I can write all lying, I do sitting on a couch ... at the table not write a part on the couch, I installed in the kitchen ... I do everything by hand and computer. I learned to use the laptop like a book, on my knees ... but I'll let go of the pad. I need this close ... "" Carmen "is, in Granada, a country house with garden and garden is also a poetic, all that becomes Carmen Boullosa when recreates his imagination on his knees, isolated by a thick curtain long brown hair, exaggerated as all her blatant denial against Schopenhauer.
The experience of writing is, if, as dangerous and fascinating game, because although his favorite props are her bed and the sofa in her kitchen, the magic carpet of his powerful imagination moves to terrible worlds where women are not whole comes to unless recourse to an effective male costume ... and I mean not only the dress but anything that involves the exercise of manhood ... the art of war, for example, as are cows, are ports or sleep. Thus, the identity is the most recurrent conflict in the surprising, unusual novel of the Mexican writer. Not the actual identity archaeological excavation of the origins, explained Carlos Rincon, but as inventive, as spontaneous and voluntary creation of a new personality, a new future, shaped after the rewrite feature of the "subgenus" of Carmen pirate novels returns, revive and becomes yours. Such is the rage this imaginative Mexican author, born on September 4, 1954 in Mexico City, more precisely in the Santa Maria la Ribera, which should not surprise that his arrival in New York on September 10, 2001 along with her two children has coincided with a hair disaster allegedly perpetrated by Muslims, descendants of the wonderful characters and charming Lepanto's other hand (Fondo de Cultura Economica, Mexico, 2005), faced with the irrational cruelty of Christians very little Christians, who adopted an orphan Roma, Maria, just runaway from a convent where the only stripped of his father's legacy has also been humiliated and exploited like so many other unfortunate young women who find no better refuge from the savage lust of the subjects of the much hated century Spain of Cervantes. Within this clan Moorish, where women have unusual level of equality with men to the degree of military instruction of the patriarchs, Mary learns to master the sword like that other art that flows through their veins dancer " (...) The Moorish warrior is not saved with them (the Christian invaders) any cruelty. On each of the soldiers who put their hands in revenge. Mothers talk about their dead children. Daughters, his parents lost. The sisters, brothers who have lost the outrages Christians, abuse, imprisonment without cause, or the violent abuses of the English justice (...) "(p. 24). His love for a Christian gentleman, however, Mary baiolaora shore to the identity of the man usufruct brush to fight side by side with him against the Moors, its saviors of old, and violate the promise made in conjunction with her four sisters spiritual, of which the redhead Zaida, also disguised as a man after being humiliated to the ignominy by Christians, in unison that their sisters, Mary to seek revenge. In their unbridled adventure and courage will not even be fairly valued by man who betrays his friends and teachers of life, Mary will match nothing more and nothing less than an eccentric soldier Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, who was recovering from malaria and a recently severed hand, will be given to the young knight's transvestite their fellow soldiers who have been confined to praise his boldness so rare in a woman (despite being a constant transvestite maids in the work of Cervantes himself), to incorporate officially undecided: "The man was not too strong, but had a great face. This was so big and so many colors and textures so close seemed to view a landscape. In the middle of the face, near the center, two little errors, we sputtered Two eyes round and black, surrounded by waves of skin, here red, purple beyond the most distant of the eyes were white, disappeared as if swallowed up by the protruding nose (...) The only poets walk between poets and everyone in between yes you hate, what to go together, What why hate? Why are poets "(pp. 383 and 384) The Carmen Cervantes is not yet known to us, the author of Don Quixote de la Mancha, but their attitudes unveil certainly a quixotic hero. Carmen's heroines seem also seed sprouts Cervantes, although his characterizations and hypocrisies be lethal for them and those around them, the female transition hyperbole from modesty and inertia to independence and the ability to make decisions, as the paradigmatic Fleury Claire / Clara Flor, heroine of Sleep, perfect fusion of the legendary pirate Anne Bonny and Virginia Woolf's Orlando, or Lear, of Heaven on earth, heroin king named tragic that from a very remote future attempts to decipher a text of the twentieth century, which in turn is a translation of one written in the XVI giving rise to one of the more complex novels of contemporary literature. In several of his novels, plays Carmen temporal alternation, but more than science fiction, you're looking to provide them with a playful allowing also break the order of nature and with it, the cultural assignment of male and female roles; pervert the cliché and recreate femininity. Even girls from dysfunctional homes prey such as Best Before and disappears, exercise the power of his imagination, more destructive than wonderful, and righteous anger over the arbitrary authority, particularly the father: "(...) We can deduce that Boulton , literature is a kind of whole, a way to exorcise this ghost dirt that has its origin in the institutions, school, family, church, "says Jean Franco. The actors are like girls massacred Carmen wrists Carmen's own experience as the strange urge to write fiction to self-destruct to cure a possible nostalgia and start the next book without leaving anything behind.
Carmen Boulton, inexplicably (or not so) ignored by literary critics bigots of his country, change has been the subject of an international symposium in Berlin in 1997, conjugated in the infinitive, on the occasion of his winning of the prize Anna Seghers, whose magnificent papers were compiled into a book of the same title by Barbara Dröscher and Carlos Rincon (Tram Editorial Sur, Berlin, 1999), but perhaps the most misunderstood of his novels of Carmen is thirty years (Alfaguara, 1999, Point Reading, 2003). Written with clear intent and other ambitious Cervantes emulate when, through the Quixote, began mimicking the romances and eventually write his epitaph to gender. Carmen did his magic realism as compared to thirty years is a parody of the current Italian by birth and adopted by the Latin Americans Delmira surrounds the life of its heroine, another unusual girl, of incidents that bring Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Isabel Allende a story. Delmira, a resident of a Agustini like Macondo (the allusion to the Uruguayan poet is intentional tribute also to the most beloved poet of Carmen), lives of wonder just as Alonso Quijano live the adventures of the mythical knights but conversely, because, being Delmira the only sane person realizes the absurdity that surrounds lush. Regardless of whether the author achieves his goal to honor and kill everything in one package, magical realism, achieves also a splendid novel rich in nuance: "The following Sunday, the old light dawned with the wounds of Christ ( ...) By then, the old light levitated complete with wooden chair and insisted on clapping hands to it and I sing together, as usual, while my grandmother scolded because of blood spattering the kitchen (...) "
Carmen Boulton said: "It's better to lie as raw material, real stone with no personal memories: those are flesh and reality, to use the novelist's out of context, the fragmentation, the breaks, the paint peeling, the returns stones, only stones, "perhaps from there to write his latest novel, The perfect novel (Alfaguara, 2006), where his character is exactly the opposite to it, starting because it is male; ending because it is a lazy writer who accesses delighted when a scientist proposes to participate in an experiment from which cyber write with pure imagination "the perfect novel." Again, Carmen uses extremes of the historical novel becomes futuristic novel and each requiring a language, a slang unique to that particular world, the baroque-chilango of Lepanto's other hand enters the cholo-chilango of the perfect novel no difficulty ... and make sure to vary your work to self-destruct in the end, but that destruction has never been more justified than in the perfect novel, where what is intended to show is that there can be novel, far from perfect, if not through language. Read Vértiz self-criticism, the lazy writer who tried to write without using language: "(...) knew the major defect of my way to tell: never charged real way home, where people were, the building never showed its geometry, in the manner of, say, Ridotto, scenes occurred as portraits of camera. The scene that the city had not provided an appreciation of a whole, looked like through a telescope, focusing on a circle, blurring the environment. Rather than blurring, not giving way ... "(p. 145). For most beloved Carmen is the language and has demonstrated not only through prose, poetry also. The poetic genre, far from curbing his boundless imagination, has been fertile ground for yourself and your "ink loaded." This field has dazzled with the wild and, more recently, stingray Salto (and two) (Fondo de Cultura Economica, Mexico Lyrics, 2004), shamelessly displaying this amazing control of the Castilian, of Castile, which allows invent as many according to her very own magical world-war. Currently, "intends", this by itself, break into the story.
