Este corazón que sangra : William S. Burroughs y Kiki en Tánger
$ 24.45
Un homenaje a los olvidados, una búsqueda obstinada frente al silencio y el olvido, y una reflexión conmovedora sobre el amor, la pérdida y el poder de la memoria.
Tangier, the 1950s. The last free city, a perfect place to get lost, teeming with smugglers, fugitives, adventurers, and hustlers. William S. Burroughs arrived there, carrying a dark legend and a ferocious addiction, to shape the Interzone: a phantasmagorical, visionary, and hallucinatory Tangier where nothing is as it seems. And at the heart of this labyrinth, which would become the backdrop for "Naked Lunch," something unexpected emerged: the twilight and tragic love of Kiki, a young Spanish street urchin, whose presence would forever mark the life and work of the doomed writer. "This Bleeding Heart" is the reconstruction of a Burroughs in love and desperate, a literary and personal journey in which Servando Rocha traces his footsteps through alleyways, letters, memories, manuscripts, never-before-seen photographs, and the last witnesses of an unrepeatable era. From the bars and brothels of Tangier to the streets of Madrid and a forgotten cemetery in the mountains, Rocha intertwines research, memory, and evocation to give voice to those who never had one. Among the shadows and memories beats the story of Kiki, the boy who forever marked Burroughs' heart and who, after being taken by violence, became a specter and a myth on every page of the writer's work.
