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.

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.
