lvna ![]() "The people who really helped me to get rid of my intellectual attitude towards the short story were the writers of the American Lost Generation. I realized that their literature had a relationship with life that my short stories didn’t. And then an event took place which was very important with respect to this attitude. It was the Bogotazo, on the ninth of April, 1948, when a political leader, Gaitan, was shot and the people of Bogotá went raving mad in the streets. I was in my pension ready to have lunch when I heard the news. I ran towards the place, but Gaitan had just been put into a taxi and was being taken to a hospital. On my way back to the pension, the people had already taken to the streets and they were demonstrating, looting stores and burning buildings. I joined them. That afternoon and evening, I became aware of the kind of country I was living in, and how little my short stories had to do with any of that. When I was later forced to go back to Barranquilla on the Caribbean, where I had spent my childhood, I realized that that was the type of life I had lived, knew, and wanted to write about." Sounds like he decided there was a need to go from an NT perspective that was natural to him and move towards a more S and much more F one. I'm guessing you were referencing this: "It always amuses me that the biggest praise for my work comes for the imagination, while the truth is that there’s not a single line in all my work that does not have a basis in reality. The problem is that Caribbean reality resembles the wildest imagination." Don't you at least think if someone actually cared about imagination and the strangeness of reality to devote a life to writing stories out of these things they would probably be N??? TBH I'm getting VERY tired of all these Latin American authors and artists getting typed as S just because they aren't intellectualizing 100% of the time and focus more on "the real." But what can we say when the real "is wild?" Yk you could even make similar arguments about the rural United States and any mystical folk tales in general. As someone whose identity is constantly teetering between roots in Latin America and the United States I can tell you 100% I empathize with this perspective. When I write I tend to start a lot of chapters with epithets that are either folk stories from L.A. or inspired by them and personalized by me. In a Jungian sense almost all of these stories probably blur the line between N and S...I think that distinction is more extreme within a place like the U.S. They don't coexist to the same degree. Also did you know many folk stories from Latin America are amoralistic? Compare that with folk stories even from somewhere like Spain and you'll see over there they are almost entirely allegorical or impart some sort of moral message...that fact should demonstrate how P in general Latin America is in comparison to other regions...which means you'll probably get a lot of S and N coexistence. But like, if you want call him a rational or something like a Ti dom who looked into other people's intuition like Jung did I guess you can go that route but idk, his entire career focused on the intuitve side of stories themselves sooooooooooooooooo like yeah...idk what else you wanna say but go ahead and label another L.A. artist S because they noticed intuitive things in their own culture. ![]() 2018-06-19 07:16:39pm (post #1310) |

EON INFP ![]() Telling fantastic thing in a straight way is pretty N provided one doesn't simply copies those things word for word (and like he said, he took the tehnique from journalism) ![]() 2018-05-09 01:02:15pm (post #288) |
Stephen Hearts ENFJ 2w1 remember what your heart is for ![]() From the New York Times, "''The whole notion that I am an intuitive is a myth I have created myself,'' said Garcia Marquez. ''I worked my way through literature, reading, writing, reading and writing -it's the only way.'' He read the Russians and the great English and American authors. ''I learned a lot from James Joyce and Erskine Caldwell and of course from Hemingway.'' But the ''tricks you need to transform something which appears fantastic, unbelievable into something plausible, credible, those I learned from journalism,'' he said. ''The key is to tell it straight. It is done by reporters and by country folk.''" ![]() 2018-05-02 03:49:41am (post #15) |
