Writer Miguel Ildefonso. In The Last Voyage of Camille, a student based in the United States goes after the mysterious footsteps of a Peruvian lost. Miguel Ildefonso ensures that this novel closes a cycle that began with El Paso and Hotel Lima, entering a period of works that deal with topics less biographical.
- When does The Last Voyage of Camille?
- Many texts are old, some 90 and others in early 2000, basically I did was correct. The stories include dealing with these two periods and the actual texts are of the times. Is the product of two previous books, hence the name, as close as previously been preparing, I try to bring closure to the direction of the previous stories that the reader understands the paradox of these characters.
- There are allusions to familiar characters, like Borges.
- Whenever I mention such characters, who wanted to confront. Although Borges is perhaps in its territory, try to make sense, take it to another context. One imagines Borges in libraries, lecture, I look out to an urban area or bohemian.
- In the book there are descriptions themselves.
- Yes, it was risky. It is a book armed with the texts of the characters and by what they say describe themselves. Perhaps the characters are not well delineated, play a lot with the clichés, try to exploit what is in the collective mentality of reading.
- Is it a cliché that the great lights have a short life?
- It's like a metaphor, the book also seeks to reflect that, is a product of pieces of versions of one or the other, exaggerated, delusional. Treatment as a metaphor for the death of people relatively young and Vallejo, Mariátegui and Heraud, which are somehow like Peru where anything is being done fast or die soon degenerates. That is my central theme of the book.
- Is there work you want more than others?
- The one for me may be the best of my works may not like anyone. The art is, for example Calamaro can do many songs from the same quality and occasionally take a subject like Flaca for hesitation, but you know your heart and see it as unique. The thing is being honest with yourself, with your imperfections, your insanity, not betray you.
- Peru Is a country made of nostalgia?
- Sure, frustrations, the past is enlarged so that seems to serve to frustrate us more. Whenever I think of community in Peru, why not. There is a colonial mentality, lack of democracy, citizens first, second and third categories, so repeat the same problems. Art is the spirit of a nation and many times he wants to hide because they interfere.
