Translated from the Spanish by Katherine Silver. hardcover. Cover art - 'Mistico' by Xul Solar. Cover design by Tree Swenson. keywords: Latin America Peru Literature Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION - When THE CARDBOARD HOUSE was published in 1928, it was received with high critical acclaim. Adán was hailed as a great innovator of Peruvian literature and the most promising young writer of his generation. For a while he moved in Lima's literary circles and marginally participated in the political and cultural debates that raged at that time. Soon thereafter, the traces of his life fade into an alcoholic haze. There are anecdotes about the coffee houses he visited, the odd scrapes of napkins on which he wrote his poetry, and his increasing isolation, an isolation that became absolute when he committed himself to a 'house of rest,' less euphemistically called a psychiatric hospital. There he remained until 1985, when his physical condition necessitated his removal to a different kind of hospital. He died that same year. During his almost forty years of self-imposed confinement, he jealously guarded his solitude, shunning all public attention and only allowing visits from his editor, Juan Mejia Baca, and a few close friends. THE CARDBOARD HOUSE is the only piece of prose Martin Adán ever completed. Some six or seven volumes of poetry were published during his lifetime and this due largely to the painstaking and devoted labor of Mejia Baca, who collected the bits and pieces of paper Adán left strewn along his path. Though he never quite lived up to the expectations created by the brilliance of THE CARDBOARD HOUSE he is still commonly referred to as one of the greatest Latin American poets of all time. inventory #26015.
