My favorite author

Hi my friends! Today I will talk about different important thinks to me, that converge in a name: María. 

Since I was kid I love to imagine stories. Since I was a teenager, I love to write: my ideas, my feelings. Create a particular and huge world by words, in wich my mind and my heart can talk. And, in 2011, I read a book that I really loved: full of passion, full of elegance, full of privacy. I felt that the author was similar to my; I had never found someone like her. Reading María Luisa Bombal, I felt rained woods inside my chest. 

Borned in June of 1910 in a aristocrat chilean famliy, M. L. Bombal was a intense women. She went to meetings only for men to talk about literature, she wrote of the feelings and sexuality of the females of ther time and  shooted  the man she loved once time. Years ago I met a guy that was friend of María in her last years. When I asked to him about her, the first thing he said was: 'A very depressive women'. 

The books write by María have a surrealist erotism and prose; a beautiful, elegant and precise prose. I really love her. The worlds she creates: the Chilean south, full of humidity and shadows, the place where people expose common feelings and thoughts; sometimes, like everyone in certain moments, their reflections full of wisdom.


My writing style is similar to her, today. I treat to make surrealist scenes, in which common but deep people suddenly appear, and move displaying their intimate world. I like to think that I’m like a more political inclinaded nephew of her.

  1. Bombal is great! I have not read much from her, but I think you describe very well the few things that I`ve readed. Maybe you can recomend me some book or something.
