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. Adan 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 Adan 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 Adan 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.…

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. As new condition cinnamon board, maroon spine, gold front cover illustration and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books in The Graywold Palabra Sur Series; Introduction by Katherine Silver; About the Author and About the Translator. Translated by Katherine Silver. "This book is profoundly realist, but it is not a reproduction of exterior reality; it is rather the poetic, sensorial, intuitive, nonrational testimony of this reality." - Mario Vargas Llosa. "Las casa de carton is the very foundation of our contemporary narrative form, because it initiates a faith in the world that did not exist previously." - Mirko Lauer. "La casa de carton, translated here by Katherine Silver as The Cardboard House, is Martin Adan's first book and his only complete work in prose. It enjoys an almost mythical status in Peru and is widely considered to be a seminal work of modern Latin American literature. Written between 1924 and 1927, when the author was still a schoolboy, The Cardboard House is characterized by Adan's fresh and sensuous imagery and his visionary, enigmatic, and poetic language. Conveniently referred to as a novel, but more akin to a prose poem, it is alternately comic, absurd, mysterious, beautiful, puzzling, and cinematic. It is remarkable for its sophisticated humor and subtly ironic, complex portrayal of European travelers to Barranco, the Peruvian Cannes. Among other things, the book expresses a young and eminently talented writer's view of his precarious emergence from his own adolescence and his nation's from its colonial slumber." - from the inner front jacket flap.
