Über den Autor
Tomás Eloy Martínez was born in San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina on July 16, 1934. He received an undergraduate degree in Spanish and Latin American literature from the National University of Tucumán and a master's degree from the University of Paris. He was a novelist, journalist, essayist and mehr anzeigen critic. In the early 1970s, he conducted long interviews with Juan Domingo Perón in Madrid, where the general was living in exile. In 1975, while eating lunch in a Buenos Aires restaurant, he received word that when he stepped outside, he would be assassinated by a right-wing paramilitary group. Since there was no back door, he decided to document his own murder and phoned his newspaper requesting a photographer. When a swarm of photographers descended, the assassins scattered. He fled the country and eventually ended up in the United States, where he taught at the University of Maryland in the mid-1980s. His works include The Perón Novel (La Novela de Perón), Santa Evita, and The Tango Singer (El Cantor de Tango). He taught at Rutgers University from 1995 until his death.

E tutto questo è iniziato per un no ignorato. Evita Perón non voleva che il suo cadavere diventasse oggetto di interessi morbosi, ma suo marito pensò bene di farla imbalsamare, dando la stura a una morbosità che ha quasi dell’incredibile se non si intrecciasse con il desiderio di rimettere al proprio posto una donna che non c’era stata e di ridurre la sua figura entro confini che la rendessero di nuovo comprensibile.
Eloy Martínez romanza la storia di Evita Perón, perché la letteratura può arrivare laddove la storia è ormai una trama sfilacciata di mezze verità e bugie e non può essere raccontata altrimenti.… (mehr)
