Abstract
Rulfo cultivó el secreto en aspectos importantes de lo personal. Omitió lo que creía vergonzante, quizá doloroso, inconcebible, para revelarlo en clave, elaboradamente. Tornó su vida en un jeroglí co, más de lo que ya es toda vida. Y se fabuló. Abordar la biografía de un escritor, representa un claro ejercicio de reescritura y también de transformismo o travestismo, porque el biógrafo se transforma en el personaje narrado y, a veces, el personaje se vuelve como el narrador. En algún punto del relato, el biógrafo sintoniza con la mitología del otro y se produce una suerte de coexistencia. Es cuando advierte que la biografía es un espejo del Yo. Ya convertido en personaje, hay que imaginar al biogra ado, hablar con él, sacarlo del lugar estan- co (documentos, testimonios, archivos) y entrar de lleno en su epopeya. Revivirlo mediante la escritura, otorgarle nuevamente una presencia y situarlo en su tiempo. Cada sujeto a biogra ar representa un desafío, especialmente cuando el sujeto es alguien admirable por ese fragmento de vida que es su obra, quizá lo más luminoso y ejemplarizante de todo gran artista.
Rulfo cultivated the secret in important aspects of the personal. He omitted what he thought to be shameful, perhaps painful, inconceivable, to elaborately reveal it in code. He turned his life into a hieroglyph, more than any other life is. And it was fabulous. To approach the biography of a writer, represents a clear exercise of rewriting and also of transvestitism or transvestism, because the biographer becomes the narrated character and sometimes the character becomes like the narrator. At some point in the story, the biographer tunes in with the mythology of the other and a sort of coexistence occurs. It is when he warns that the biography is a mirror of the Self. Already converted into a character, you have to imagine the biographer, talk to him, get him out of the watertight place (documents, testimonies, archives) and get into his epic. To revive it through writing, to give it a new presence and place it in its time. Each subject to biography represents a challenge, especially when the subject is someone admirable for that fragment of life that is his work, perhaps the most luminous and exemplary of every great artist.
