Beber Un Cáliz (Novela) / Drinking a Chalice (a Novel)


Overview

Publicada originalmente en 1965, Beber un cáliz, de Ricardo Garibay, se ha convertido en un clásico de la narrativa testimonial mexicana, una meditación sobre la fragilidad de la vida y la persistencia de la memoria. Agonía del creador contemplada desde muchos ángulos, dibujada bajo muchas luces y sombras, maldecida y bendecida desde el centro mismo del estupor, del amor y el odio de la criatura. Beber un cáliz no pertenece a las corrientes convencionales de la literatura. No es cuento, no es novela, no es poema en prosa: es un testimonio verídico sobre el dolor de ver convertirse atrozmente en nada una antigua montaña de esplendores y angustias. Este testimonio es, al mismo tiempo, memoria familiar y reflexión existencial: la figura paterna que se desmorona, los recuerdos de la niñez, la culpa y el amor filial se entrelazan en un relato donde la escritura se vuelve un acto de duelo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Originally published in 1965, Beber un cáliz by Ricardo Garibay has become a classic of Mexican testimonial narrative, a meditation on the fragility of life and the persistence of memory. The agony of the creator is contemplated from many angles, drawn under many lights and shadows, cursed and blessed from the very center of astonishment, love, and hatred of the creature. Beber un cáliz does not belong to conventional currents of literature. It is not a short story, not a novel, not prose poetry: it is a truthful testimony about the pain of seeing a former mountain of splendors and anguish atrociously turn into nothing. This testimony is, at the same time, family memory and existential reflection: the father figure collapsing, childhood memories, guilt, and filial love intertwine in a narrative where writing becomes an act of mourning.
