Como ver con ojos nuevos a una escritora sobre quien se ha dicho todo, o por lo menos sobre quien se tiene la impresion de que todo ha sido dicho? Lo que es mas: una escritora que colaboro ella misma, con ejemplar constancia, a que quedara de si una imagen sabiamente compuesta, convincente en su misma calculada simplicidad: en una palabra, imperturbable? A esta pregunta responde, con ejemplar rigor intelectual e imaginacion critica, este libro de Lila Zemborain. No satisfecha con los cliches de lectura que han fijado a Gabriela Mistral en su eternidad, Zemborain desmonta el monumento, toma a la escritora en su letra. No desdena el cliche mistraliano, antes bien lo complica, dejando que irradie, que se disperse, que se contradiga, que impresione al lector de manera nueva. De la lectura de Zemborain -- de su inquisicion poetica, podria decirse -- surge un sujeto mistraliano generosamente diverso, traducido en multiples figuraciones, ninguna de ellas simples ni reconfortantes. La indagacion de Zemborain parte de una perdida y de un logro: se pierde el nombre del padre para ganar la firma de autor. De este doble movimiento, marcado por el vaiven, surgen las ambigüedades del sujeto mistraliano, la compleja elaboracion de la perdida, la perversa identificacion con un sujeto melancolico y a la vez la indudable libertad de quien se inventa al nombrarse por si misma. Con maestria, Zemborain sigue esa linea de lectura, sorprende los repliegues y las ricas contradicciones de un sujeto que enuncia, como al descuido: Estoy en donde no estoy. Lila Zemborain da nueva vigencia a la incalculable importancia de la relectura, a la fundamental inestabilidad del texto que es tambien su riqueza. Ningun lector de Mistral puede permanecer ajeno a este libro admirable. SYLVIA MOLLOY ... Read more

Excerpt: Gabriela Mistral (April 7, 1889 January 10, 1957) was the pseudonym of Lucila de María del Perpetuo Socorro Godoy Alcayaga, a Chilean poet, educator, diplomat, and feminist who was the first Latin American to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, in 1945. Some central themes in her poems are nature, betrayal, love, a mother's love, sorrow and recovery, travel, and Latin American identity as formed from a mixture of Native American and European influences. Gabriela Mistral was of Basque and Amerindian descent. Mistral was born in Vicuña, Chile, but was raised in the small Andean village of Montegrande, where she attended the Primary school taught by her older sister, Emelina Molina. She respected her sister greatly, despite the many financial problems that Emelina brought her, in later years. Her father, Juan Gerónimo Godoy Villanueva, was also a schoolteacher. He abandoned the family before she was three years old, and died, long since estranged from the family, in 1911. Throughout her early years she was never far from poverty. By age fifteen, she was supporting herself and her mother, Petronila Alcayaga, a seamstress, by working as a teacher's aide in the seaside town of Compañia Baja, near La Serena, Chile. In 1904 Mistral published some early poems, such as Ensoñaciones, Carta Íntima ("Intim...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=171952 ... Read more
