I don't have friends, I have loves

In this post, i will talk about Pedro Segundo Mardones Lemebel. He was born in November 21 of 1952, in Santiago and did die in January 23 of 2015 in Arturo Lopez Perez foundation, because since 2011 he did have cancer. He was a chilean writer and plastic artist, and a very important person in the homosexual and revolucionary literature. Too, he did work like cronist in Pagina Abierta, La Nación, Punto Final and The Clinic.

His parents were Pedro Mardones Paredes, a baker, and Violeta Elena Lemebel –is a romantic name in my opinion :’)-. they, with Pedro, lived in La Legua until 1960, after in Departamental. Lemebel always wrote about this in his works: marginality.

Im a fan of what a Lemebel did, even my favourite book in the life is from him: “Tengo miedo Torero”. Too, the creation of “Las Yeguas del Apocalipsis”, with Francisco Casas in 1987, until today is a inspiration to the different groups, specially for the feminist and dissidence performances. Also, fought against dictatorship and censorship imposed by Augusto Pinochet.

  1. I gotta admit that I'm a big ignorant if we're talking about literature (or general literary culture). But I think it's awesome you love a particular artist's work.

    Then you may consider him/her as a reference for you future job if you want to follow that path.
