Una magistral crónica que retrata al poeta Pablo de Rokha, una de las figuras más combativas de la literatura, por uno de los autores chilenos más importantes hoy.

Deslenguado, siempre polémico, Pablo de Rokha atravesó buena parte del siglo ganando amigos y detractores, escribiendo una obra inmensa y fundamental, muchas veces desconocida, mientras la de sus compañeros de generación --entre ellos Mistral, Neruda y Huidobro-- comenzaba a hacerse conocida para el mundo. La suya es una historia llena de piezas extraviadas que Álvaro Bisama reconstruye de forma admirable. Cómo fue armándose su clan y familia, la fulminante historia de amor con Winétt, su soledad como escritor, el relato de sí mismo que construyó en su obra, las muertes trágicas que enlutaron sus días, entre otras circunstancias, dibujan aquí no solo la vida del poeta, sino también un momento histórico que vio nacer a los grandes genios de la poesía chilena.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A masterful chronicle that portrays the poet Pablo de Rokha, one of the most combative figures in literature, by one of the most important Chilean authors today.

Foul-mouthed, always controversial, Pablo de Rokha spent much of the century winning friends and detractors, writing an immense and fundamental work, much of it unknown, while that of his contemporaries - among them Mistral, Neruda and Huidobro - began to become known to the world. His is a story full of lost pieces that Álvaro Bisama rebuilds admirably. How his clan and family were assembling, the sudden love story with Winétt, his loneliness as a writer, the story of himself that he built in his work, the tragic deaths that he mourned, among other circumstances, paint not only the life of the poet, but also a historical moment that saw the birth of the great geniuses of Chilean poetry.

Just Spectacular
Format: Kindle
I just read seven issues in one sitting and turned to my husband and told him I was sad because I just read an amazing new comic but I finished it and now I have to wait for more. This story is hard to explain, or stick in any particular comic niche. There's hitmen, vampires, ghosts, teenagers performing Sweeney Todd as their school play, apocalyptic dilemmas, addiction, redemption and a talking mole. Just wow. The art is really crisp, colorful and clean. If you liked Middlewest, I think you'll love this. Looking forward to more from these creators.

Great characters, great art, too many loose ends
Format: Paperback
I want to love it; it has great art and realistic characters in a interesting setting, but even by the end of the first volume I was left with nothing but questions. I feel like nothing ever got explained and it took away from the quality of the comic. I'm sure if I continue reading I will get the answers I want, but it feels like the pacing of the story is just a little off. Still a stellar comic.

Can't get past the art
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book blind, knowing nothing about the creators and with no expectations. While I thought the story was interesting and generally well-executed, sometimes the intrusion of the writer's thoughts, the attempts to break the fourth wall, and the wink-wink, nudge-nudge gags at the fans grow tiresome. But the writing is the strength compared to the art, which in my opinion is poor at best. The artist lacks anatomical skills, perspective skills -- the art almost never fills the frame. The splash pages are underwhelming because the figures are so small. Even the parts of the story that are supposed to be "cartoony" (the 5th dimension), which might better fit this artist's abilities, don't work. I really feel this could have been a significantly better product with a different artist.
