La vorágine: bases reales

Gracias al artista y cineasta Leandro Katz por esta gran labor de documentación, sobre una de las más grandes y más famosas novelas latinoamericanas y sobre la explotación de indígenas y caucheros que describe, hechos reales que acaecían en Colombia y Brasil a principios del siglo pasado.

Las Bases Reales de 'La Vorágine'

Yo había leído la novela recién en marzo del año pasado, y me impactó. Aquí puedes leer mi resúmen y comentario sobre la novela de José Eustasio Rivera, La vorágine (1924).

Geoffrey Fox's short story collection Welcome to My Contri (1988, enlarged e-book 2010) was described by The New York Times Book Review as a "short and impressive work" in which "Mr. Fox [...] has created a memorable set of players who, while not natural antagonists (they often share the same dreams and goals), are still somehow bent on confrontation. Watching their sometimes vicious, often darkly humorous interactions leaves us thoroughly wrung out and aware that we are in the presence of a formidable new writer". Novels: A Gift for the Sultan (2010), Rabble! (2022) His articles, op-eds and book reviews have appeared in The Nation, The New York Times, the Village Voice and other publications. Since 2008, Fox has been living with his partner, architect Susana Torre, on the edge of the Mediterranean in the village of Carboneras in Andalusia, Spain, where his short stories (in Spanish) under the pen name "Baltasar Lotroyo" ("el otro yo" = alter ego in Spanish) have appeared in anthologies and online publications.
