Goya en Burdeos

A los 82 años, exiliado en Burdeos con Leocadia Zorrilla de Weiss, la última de sus amantes, el pintor Francisco de Goya reconstruye para su hija Rosario los acontecimientos que marcaron su vida. Una vida en la que se suceden convulsiones políticas, pasiones emponzoñadas y el éxtasis de la fama.

Goya in Bordeaux

Francisco Goya (1746-1828), deaf and ill, lives the last years of his life in voluntary exile in Bordeaux, a Liberal protesting the oppressive rule of Ferdinand VII. He’s living with his much younger wife Leocadia and their daughter Rosario. He continues to paint at night, and in flashbacks stirred by conversations with his daughter, by awful headaches, and by the befuddlement of age, he relives key times in his life, particularly his relationship with the Duchess of Alba, his discovery of how he wanted to paint (insight provided by Velázquez’s work), and his lifelong celebration of the imagination. Throughout, his reveries become tableaux of his paintings.

Presentación de la obra del escritor René Rodriguez Soriano @ Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston
Feb 27 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Presentación de la obra del escritor René Rodríguez Soriano

“No les guardo rencor, papá”

Novela más reciente del escritor dominicano René Rodríguez Soriano, publicada simultáneamente en Santo Domingo, España, Estados Unidos y Argentina en el 2019, narra los días finales de la dictadura de Rafael L. Trujillo en su patria. Es una historia conocida, pero el estilo subyugante con el que el autor va concatenando los hechos y la interacción de los personajes hacen que el lector se mantenga pegado al libro hasta llegar a la última página. Tres voces se entrelazan, atan nudos y se deslizan paralelamente para contarnos una historia que de tan terrible pareciera fantasía.

Presentación del autor por Ophir Alviárez

René Rodríguez Soriano (Constanza, RD, 1950) escritor, editor y docente universitario dominicano; egresado en comunicación social de la Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo. Ha sido reconocido en plataformas como el periodismo, la publicidad y la producción de materiales para radio televisión y cine. Ha recibido importantes galardones como el Talent Seekers International Award 2009-2010, el Premio UCE de Poesía 2008, el Premio UCE de Novela 2007, el Premio Nacional de Cuentos José Ramón López de República Dominicana (1997) y el Casa de Teatro (1996), entre otros. Desde 1998 reside en Estados Unidos1​ desde donde, mediante un continuo desplazamiento por prestigiosos centros académicos desarrolla una ardua labor de difusión y proyección de la literatura iberoamericana; desde el 2005 edita y coordina mediaIsla2​, revista literaria convertida, hoy por hoy, en sitio de referencia obligada para los hacedores y estudiosos más destacados de nuestras letras
