Sinopsis

Hotel Montparnasse: Letters to César Vallejo is a verse-novel composed in letters written to the famous Peruvian poet César Vallejo, who died in Paris in 1938.áHe was buried in the Montparnasse Cemetery, but soon after, according to these letters, found himself residing at the nearby Hotel Montparnasse, perhaps against his will.áThis book tells of his friendships, involvement with a resident named Jeanette, problems with the hotel management, and his eventual disappearance (or is it escape?) from the hotel.áMost of the letter-poems are written by the residents of Hotel Montparnasse, except for those composed by a certain Alvaro de Campos, who reveals little about himself.áThis is a book about the mystery of the afterlife, the persistence of desire, and the lasting legacy of César Vallejo.SAMPLE:You checked into room number 39 becauseáYou checked into room number 39 becauseáthatâÇÖs the age of the worker who dug your grave.And because you canâÇÖt bear to tell the desk clerkáshe needs a zinc bathtub of warm milk to soakáher tired feet--and tired back and skull-for at least 39 minutes.Relax, says the aloe plant in your window. áNothing to fear, says the chipped radiator.Says the newspaperâÇÖs wilted corpseáon the faded floral carpet.áSays the shirtáhugging the back of the chairáconsoling the desk gone dizzy from staringáat the many coffee rings. áNothing to be said, says that black pubic hairáclinging to the stiff, sallow lampshade.A hotel room with closet, bed, sink, mirror,ábecause here itâÇÖs harder for Godáto pull you back to the morgue, backáto that dreamless hole in the ground.Relax, says the mirror, take off your clothes.áAnd so you do.áFalling back on the clean towelyou spread on the bed, your flesh tickledáby the nappy fabric. áRoom 39, you say.áThe black hair still clingingáto the sullen lampshade.Your friend,Alvaro of the Campos
