Correspondencia Pizarnik

Summary: The other side of an obscure writer
Review: As Ivonne Bordelois states in her preface, there's more to Alejandra Pizarnik than meets the eye. The gloomy writer that thrilled everyone in Argentina and other Spanish-speaking countries with her obscure, death-stained poetry turns instead to be a gay and solicitous friend who tries to help her friends and comments on projects and books. This is Alejandra's other side, although as you turn the pages her psychological and money problems start marring the happiness she had achieved as a promising poet. Bordelois' comments are always helpful and enlightening. A very interesting piece of reading for those who are familiar with Pizarnik's writing.
