Damn Monday, goddamn life accepting death. And now the seemingly unbreakable Alberto Anaut is dead, a genius who created La Fábrica, an idea factory in Spain so that neither culture nor books can fall asleep.
With a generosity that is the result of his personality and creativity, created between us Festival Fireplaceand made that mundane and eccentric letter of the alphabet the very center of the personal and immediate collective commitment to fostering a life relationship with the arts he developed in addition to the noble craftsmanship of journalism I met him.
On this front, Country, Curious was my teacherand in questions. Even the obvious could not do that with his scrutiny, for he sought the perfection of art he wanted in this trade, in everyone he approached. In this last area he was also a genius. i searched till i got tired, but decided with the speed of a child. Always.
Nothing was foreign to him in these various subjects, which deserved his passion and patience. The creation of Eñe, like that of La Fábrica, had a shared passion so that he was open to collaboration with others in both hemispheres of the world he wanted. He was non-discursive, his speech was introspective, and he was also exercising by listening. He would sit in front of you, ask for the idea that was in you, and if that idea was fruitful or clear to him, he would immediately bring it to life with you.
I recently told him and his partner Luis Posada, who is now crying for a future without him like his entire family, that he has a literary supplement in Argentina. Clarion, Already called Ñ as the veteran’s festival, and also celebrating his birthday.
No further warning was needed, immediately contacted America’s most important cultural magazine and bought this boat, which he piloted, and the meeting was successful. As Benedetti told Viglieti one day when he told the poet that he was composing a song, Anaut was filled with “energy for coincidences”and wherever there was a possibility of walking with or with others, he was always there, first commanding, then seeing the command.
always available
Spain, the Spanish language, so America also lives from these energies; And Anaut’s energy was very importantFirst of all, in this universe where ideas spread with envy and insults of ideologies. At no time in my life, even when we were colleagues from the same newsroom, have I ever seen an iota of the vulgarity that we journalists sometimes experience in Anaut. And as a creator of culture and as a person, he was always ready to say yes, even if he finally said no to you, even if he said he didn’t see it.
It is so unusual for me that now I have to write his name in the past, Alberto Anaut, so terrible that this Monday treated him like hell with life, everything he said about this loss corresponds to anger to see. the fertility of life is broken.
Anat one inventor culture. An unusual energy to create and a great loss to the worlds of books, art and thought what I’m crying right now. They’re there as an incredible engine that won’t stop playing because ideas don’t die, a joyful legacy left to us by well-lit light.
