Esta no es una biografa de Parra. Esta es una biografa con Parra. Es una biografa contra Parra. Parra es en este libro apenas un abrigo, una mscara ms. -Rafael Gumucio Cuando Nicanor Parra obtuvo el premio Cervantes 2012, la literatura en espaol revel al pblico uno de sus secretos mejor guardados. Desde mucho antes, su casa en Las Cruces se haba convertido en un lugar de peregrinacin para una generacin entera de jvenes escritores chilenos. All acudi por primera vez Rafael Gumucio con apenas treinta y dos aos dispuesto a comentar sus libros con el octogenario antipoeta. Pero Parra solo quera hablar de una de las tantas columnas que el autor deMemorias prematuraspublicaba en los peridicos: Supe en ese instante que no le importaban mis libros ni mi prosa, que yo pensaba ingenuamente me haban llevado hasta aqu. Le gustaba una columna de entre las miles que haba escrito, y era esa y nada ms. Con eso basta y sobra. Gumucio sigui visitando a Parra asiduamente, pero en aquel primer encuentro qued sellada la textura que tendra la relacin entre ambos: Parra proyectara su sombra apabullante cargada de inteligencia y de talento, y Gumucio se debatira bajo esa sombra entre la admiracin, el desconcierto y el terror: Vive en el infierno, pienso, o en el purgatorio, ese seor que hace chistes todo el tiempo, que camina como si bailara y odia el patetismo existencial o cualquier tipo de gravedad. No descansa nunca, aunque est tranquilamente sentado frente al ventanal que da al mar. Partiendo de una tarea de documentacin monumental, apelando a sus propios recuerdos y a la memoria de su relacin con Parra, Gumucio escribi un libro cuyo ttulo -Nicanor Parra, rey y mendigo-condensa la complejidad inabarcable de uno de los ms grandes poetas de habla hispana, una biografa conmovedora que echa luz sobre cada uno de los momentos de la vida de un hombre irrepetible. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Great Chilean author Rafael Gumucio has written a moving biography about one of the great Spanish language poets. When Nicanor Parra won the 2012 Miguel de Cervantes Prize, Spanish literature revealed to the public one of its best kept secrets. Long before, his home in Las Cruces had become a sort of pilgrimage for an entire generation of young Chilean writers. Rafael Gumucio went to Las Cruces for the first time when he was barely thirty-two years old, ready to discuss his books with the antipoet who was already in his eighties. But Parra only wanted to talk about one of the many columns that the author published in the newspapers. He liked one of his columns out of the thousands he had written, and it was all about that one and nothing else. Gumucio continued to visit Parra diligently, but that first meeting sealed the type of relationship they would have: Parra would project his overwhelming shadow full of intelligence and talent, and Gumucio would juggle admiration, bewilderment, and terror under that shadow. Starting from an immense work of research, going back into his own memories, and the memory of his relationship with Parra, Gumucio wrote a book whose title condenses the immeasurable complexity of one of the greatest Spanish-speaking poets; a moving biography that sheds light on each moment of this unique man's life.
