No sé si he sido claro by Roberto Fontanarrosa (Spanish Edition) Paperback

Description: No sé si he sido claro by Roberto Fontanarrosa (Spanish Edition) Paperback Esa vez que Gardel vino a Rosario fuimos a verlo con mi amigo el Flaco Octavio mama y el tio Eugenio al tio hubo que insistirle bastante para convencerlo. El decia que le gustaba mucho la musica pero siempre habia que rogarle para cualquier cosa. Era una de esas personas que se complacian en que le insistieran. Te digo mas Usted no me lo va a creer No se si he sido claro son expresiones diarias que se repiten una y otra vez. Y fue Fontanarrosa quien logro captar como ningun otro con humildad y maestria el sentimiento popular frente a las cinco cosas a las que pareciera reducirse la vida: el amor la amistad la pasion la locura y la muerte. No se si he sido claro y otros cuentos su segundo libro de relatos refleja aquella famosa frase que supo enunciar y que lo definia de cuerpo entero: De mi se dira posiblemente que soy un escritor comico a lo sumo. Y sera cierto. No me interesa demasiado la definicion que se haga de mi. No aspiro al Nobel de Literatura. Roberto Fontanarrosa: Born in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina, November 26, 1944Died, July 19, 2007Genre: Literature & Fiction, Comics & Graphic Novels, Sports "People would say that I'm comic writer, at most, and that will be true. I don't care too much how people will define me as a writer. I don't want to be a Nobel laureate. It will be enough for me if anyone tells me 'I laughed my ass off with your book.'" Fontanarrosa began his career writing and drawing comic strips and later branched out into writing narrative with short stories, especially about football (soccer). His better known strips are Inodoro Pereyra, featuring a gaucho and his talking dog Mendieta, and the hitman Boogie el Aceitoso (which came to life as a Dirty Harry parody). Fontanarrosa went on to write three novels (Best Seller, El área 18 and La Gansada), and seven books of short comic stories (Los trenes matan a los autos, El mundo ha vivido equivocado, No sé si he sido claro, Nada del otro mundo, El mayor de mis defectos, Uno nunca sabe and La mesa de los galanes). There are also a number of book compilations of his newspapers' strips. His work has been seen in different Latin American newspapers including Argentine Clarín, Colombian El tiempo, Uruguayan La República, and Mexican magazine Proceso. In 1977 he was approached by Les Luthiers (the famous Argentine humour/music group), who wanted him to collaborate on a script they were writing for a film starring the six group members; the film never bore fruit, but he instead became a creative partner, often writing jokes and situations for them, and most of their shows from 1979 onwards feature his input alongside Les Luthiers'. In November, 2007 a posthumous work of Fontanarrosa was made public. The script of the animated film Fierro was co-written by Fontanarrosa and the characters designs came also from him.[edit] Illness In 2003 he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and was bound to a wheelchair. He continued to work, and participated in the meetings of the Third International Congress of the Spanish Language, in 2004, where he gave a humorous lecture about taboo words and the final speech. On 26 April 2006 the Senate awarded him the Domingo Faustino Sarmiento Mention of Honour for his career and his contribution to Argentine culture. In January 18, 2007 he announced that he would be no longer drawing his own strips because he had lost full control of his hand, but stated that he would go on writing the scripts for his characters. On 19 July 2007, Fontanarrosa suffered a respiratory failure, and was taken to a hospital. He died there about one hour later. His funeral service and the funeral procession on the next day were attended by thousands of common citizens, writers, actors, and political authorities. The procession stopped beside the Gigante de Arroyito stadium (home of Rosario Central, a team of which Fontanarrosa was possibly its most notable fan) and then continued north to the neighbouring city of Granadero Baigorria, where Fontanarrosa was buried at the Parque de la Eternidad cemetery. The main national news services and printed media of Argentina devoted special segments to Fontanarrosa's legacy and to the funeral service. The national government declared a Mourning Day for National Culture, and the municipal government of Rosario ordered flags to be flown at half mast.
