Adeus, Fuentes

Sylvia Colombo

Era uma manhã fria do outono mexicano de 2009. Em meio a agitada Feira do Livro de Guadalajara, o escritor Carlos Fuentes me recebeu para um papo e um café da manhã num hotel da cidade.

Alto, elegante, com um lenço no pescoço, Fuentes mostrava incrível vigor físico, aos 81 anos e logo cedo pela manhã. “Costumo viajar muito a festivais, mas só se posso garantir algumas horas todos os dias para escrever”, comentou. Naquele dia, tinha pulado da cama às 6h, trabalhado até às 9h, e estava ali pronto para o compromisso com a Folha.

O papo estendeu-se por horas, começando pelo romance que ele lançava ali, “Adán en Edén”, e abrangendo também o bicentenário das independências latino-americanas, que seriam celebradas no ano seguinte. O escritor tinha em Machado de Assis uma referência importante, ao lado do espanhol Miguel de Cervantes. Na ocasião, Fuentes se lamentava por ver seu país em má situação, pela economia e pela narcoviolência, e fez vários elogios ao modo como o Brasil vinha se destacando no cenário internacional.

No começo deste mês, Fuentes passou pela Feira do Livro de Buenos Aires, e deu diversas entrevistas e uma palestra que foi acompanhada por uma plateia lotada. Já não mostrava o vigor de um par de anos atrás, mas não se recusou a estar em nenhum compromisso.

Entre outras coisas, rendeu homenagens à Argentina, país em que viveu alguns anos com os pais, diplomatas. “Me sinto contente de estar de volta a Buenos Aires, cidade da minha juventude, dos meus amores e de minha vida.” Agora vemos que essa, mesmo que ele não soubesse, era uma despedida.

Fuentes morreu hoje, aos 83 anos, no hospital Ángeles del Pedregal, na Cidade do México. Um dos últimos remanescentes da geração do “boom” latino-americano, é autor de alguns clássicos da literatura latino-americana contemporânea, como “Aura” e “A Morte de Artemio Cruz”.

Apesar de conhece-lo de outras épocas, por conta de várias entrevistas feitas por telefone, aquela manhã em Guadalajara foi especial por vê-lo pela primeira vez ao vivo. Generoso, a primeira pergunta que me fez foi se meu livro sobre democracia na América Latina, para o qual ele tinha dado um depoimento, tinha saído. Abriu um grande sorriso quando disse que sim. “Livros precisam sair, as ideias precisam voar, isso é que é importante.”

  1. I have noticed that credit restoration activity ought to be conducted with techniques. If not, you could come across yourself endangering your rank. In order to realize your aspirations in fixing your credit rating you need to confirm that from this moment in time you pay all of your respective monthly dues promptly in advance of their planned date. It is significant on the grounds that by not accomplishing that, all other steps that you will decide to try to improve your credit positioning will not be effective. Many thanks for expressing your ideas.

  3. Thanks for these pointers. One thing I also believe is the fact credit cards offering a 0% rate of interest often appeal to consumers with zero rate of interest, instant acceptance and easy over-the-internet balance transfers, however beware of the real factor that will probably void that 0% easy streets annual percentage rate as well as throw one out into the terrible house quick.

  25. Thanks for your ideas. One thing we’ve noticed is that banks along with financial institutions really know the spending behavior of consumers while also understand that most people max outside their credit cards around the holidays. They properly take advantage of this specific fact and then start flooding your inbox and also snail-mail box together with hundreds of 0 APR credit card offers right after the holiday season finishes. Knowing that if you are like 98% in the American public, you’ll rush at the possible opportunity to consolidate card debt and switch balances towards 0 rate credit cards.
