AYRAM CHEDE, Carlos Julio. Writing to resist solitude: Nostalgia, Confession, and love in Cartas a Clara [Letters to Clara] by Juan Rulfo. La Palabra [online]. 2013, n.23, pp.79-89. ISSN 0121-8530.

The present article examines the set of letters that the Mexican writer Juan Rulfo wrote to Clara Aparicio between the years of 1944 and 1950, which not only represent a poetic event in themselves, but also reveal at least three states that can be conjugated and coexist in the expression of each letter: nostalgia, confession and love. Each of the letters that Rulfo writes allows him to secure a place in the world that he begins to inhabit while being far away from home, and that he shares permanently with Clara. Juan Rulfo steps aside from the logic of everyday life to evaporate rutine by means of writing. It could be said that, like Gustavo Adolfo Becquer, Rulfo evades reality in writing as an oportunity to give home to an unconditional world, where he and his heart, and well as the subject of his love exist.

Palabras clave : solitude; nostalgia; confession; writing; distance; love; Juan Rulfo; Clara Aparicio.
