Synopsis
A vulnerable portrait of the Mexican author, as unveiled through letters penned to his beloved
Published with Fundacion Juan Rulfo.
In January 1945 the Mexican writer, screenwriter and photographer Juan Rulfo (1917–86) wrote: “I don’t know what is going on inside me, but every moment I feel that there is something great and noble to fight for and to live for. That something great, for me, is you.” This profound declaration of devotion is a snippet from a love letter addressed to his girlfriend, and eventual wife, Clara Aparicio.
Cartas a Clara compiles a series of letters Rulfo penned to his beloved, granting the reader access to the dreams, feelings, concerns, desires and personality of one of the great writers of the 20th century. The volume encourages readers to embrace the miracles of literature: intensity and lucidity, imagination and perfect form, subtle irony and depth. Illustrated with black-and-white archival photographs of Rulfo and Aparicio, it also elucidates the customs of postwar Mexican society and the shifts it underwent upon the arrival of foreign investment. Essayist and poet Alberto Vital pens a reverent foreword, painting a touching portrait of one of the last novelists of the Mexican Revolution.

About the Author
Juan Rulfo nació el 16 de mayo de 1917. Fue registrado en Sayula y vivió en la población de San Gabriel, pero las tempranas muertes de su padre (1923) y su madre (1927) obligaron a sus abuelos a inscribirlo en un internado en Guadalajara, la capital de Jalisco.
Durante sus años en San Gabriel conoce la biblioteca literaria de un cura, depositada en la casa familiar, experiencia esencial en su formación. Se suele destacar su orfandad como determinante en su vocación artística, olvidando que su contacto temprano con aquellos libros tendría un peso mayor en este terreno.
Una huelga en la Universidad de Guadalajara le impide inscribirse en ella y se traslada a la ciudad de México. Asiste a cursos en la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras y se convierte en un conocedor de la literatura histórica, antropológica y geográfica de México. Durante las décadas de 1930 y 1940 viaja extensamente por el país, trabaja en Guadalajara o en la ciudad de México y comienza a publicar sus cuentos gracias a su gran amigo Efrén Hernández. En estos mismos años se inicia como fotógrafo.
Obtiene en 1952 la primera de las dos becas consecutivas del Centro Mexicano de Escritores, fundada por la estadounidense Margaret Shedd, sin duda la persona determinante para que Rulfo publicase en 1953 "El Llano en llamas" y en 1955 la novela "Pédro Páramo", que lo consagran como un clásico de la lengua española.
Las dos últimas décadas de su vida las dedicó Rulfo al Instituto Nacional Indigenista, donde se encargó de la edición de una de las colecciones más importantes de antropología contemporánea y antigua de México.
Juan Rulfo falleció en la ciudad de México el 7 de enero de 1986.
