Sinopsis

What is Love, a collection of four storiesáby the Chilean poet,ápainter and art criticáManuel Magallanes Moure (1878-1924),ádirectly poses the question at the heart of writing and life.áTheseátalesáset in early 20th-century Chile,ádeceptive in their illusion of simplicity,áportrayálove at a printing press,áon aácrowded avenueáatáNew Year,áin aáSantiago livingároomáon aáhotásummerâÇÖs day,áand in theáhomeáof a new neighbour. They takeáup the small daily torturesáand resignations of a mind conflicted between the regularityáof bourgeois happiness and the promises of a lifeáfully dedicated to art in a freer, looser, more open existence.áThe equivalent of Magallanes MoureâÇÖs impressionisticávisual artworks,áthey offer ambiguousálandscapesáof the emotions.áThis edition also includes an essay by translator Jessica Sequeiraáabout Magallanes MoureâÇÖs role in the cultural group Los Diez,áhis correspondence and complicated friendshipáwith Gabriela Mistral that endured for several decades,áand theávarious manifestations of love with itsásweet scourges.
