Some words ofintroduction
I would firstlylike to thank allthose whomade possiblethis evening and invited me in this wonderful city. I would like to extend my gratitude to Antonio Reynaldo.
Secondly, I would like to clarify that until the endof the twentiethcenturythere werethree majorbiographies ofPabloNeruda: Margarita Aguirre’s Las vidas de Pablo Neruda (1973), Emir Rodríguez Monegal’s Neruda.

Latin America Translated and Transmitted

The second event of note occurred on December 9 when The New York Times released “The 10 Best Books of 2007.” This list, split evenly between fiction and non-fiction titles and culled from the “New York Times 100 Notable Books for 2007,” is perhaps the most reliable gauge of the approbation of an author by the U.S. literary establishment. One of the year’s five ostensibly “best” novels was The Savage Detecti • Hubo una sombra en plan vida show escritor y caudillo momentary failure la poesía sudamericana, clearly identifiable todos los pactos y premios –amistosos y políticos, el Nobel- no alcanzaron a conjurar.
