SEVERO SARDUY A FONDO - EDICIÓN COMPLETA y RESTAURADA

SEVERO SARDUY IN DEPTH - March 5, 1978 - B/W - 57 minutes Severo Sarduy (1937-1993) is overwhelming from the beginning of his story of his Cuban origins in Camagüey in 1937: "I'm here by a miracle. I got out of everything upside down and drowned." A reference to José Lezama Lima is obligatory: "It's not a vain exercise in humility, but I believe that everything I've done will be nothing more than a footnote by Lezama." Closely associated with the structuralist circle in Paris—I am a student of Roland Barthes—he collaborated on Tel Quel, with an attitude that "tries to liquidate the composure that has taken over literature. The writers of the 'boom' no longer belong to the marginality." He has published "Gestos" (1963), "De donde son los cantantes" (1967), "Cobra" (1972) and is about to publish "Maitreya", although he provocatively states that "writing is not that much fun, much more fun is making love, or eating, or seeing painting."
