- Enjoy this conversation between two acclaimed Latin-American writers, Mexican Guadalupe Nettel and Argentinean Mariana Enriquez. The friends and colleagues discuss their literary inspirations and their similarities - not least their predilection for the shadowy and the sordid.
“I think none of us likes the 'bullshit',” Nettel comments. Both writers like to look at things directly without removing layer after layer, sometimes even putting a reflector on the cruel and the grotesque: “We go straight to that part of life that seemingly we both find more interesting.” They are annoyed when the ability to write about the body is made into a matter of gender: “I think it’s got more to do with literary perception and readings, and with the body as something to explore literarily,” says Enriquez.
Among others, the writers that inspire them can be traced back to the French symbolists and decadents, such as Arthur Rimbaud (b.1854-d.1891) and Charles Baudelaire (b.1821-d.1867). These have served as a greater inspiration than Latin-American literature, which Enriquez argues doesn't exist as such: “Each country has its own national literature. You can’t compare Argentinean literature with even Chilean literature.” Moreover, both writers would have like to be poets and refer to the Renaissance writers, who talked about the magic power of the word: “I believe in their power of invoking. And I believe that poetry invokes. Just one word bears all its power and words become some kind of spell,” says Nettel. To this, Enriquez agrees, arguing that poetry is the most dangerous genre: “Anything can happen. Sometimes it’s like black magic.” However, narratives contain intuitions - like when you suddenly find yourself on a literary wave: “It’s as if there were subjects searching for authors,” Nettel says.
Guadalupe Nettel (b. 1973) is a Mexican writer, who has been compared to “an alien sun shining down upon our world” by her colleague Valeria Luiselli, and who was voted one of thirty-nine most important Latin American writers under the age of thirty-nine at the Bogotá Hay Festival in 2006. Nettel has published in several genres, both fiction and non-fiction and fiction, including the novel ‘The Body Where I Was Born’ (2015) (El cuerpo en que naci, 2011). Nettel is the recipient of several prestigious prizes including the 2014 Herralde Novel Prize and The Antonin Artaud Prize. She lives in Mexico City.
Mariana Enriquez (b. 1973) is an Argentinean novelist, journalist and short story writer. Among her work is the novel ‘Como desaparecer completamente’ (2004) and the short story collections ‘Los peligros de fumar en la cama’ (2009) and ‘Things we lost in the Fire’ (2016) (Las Cosas que perdimos en el fuego, 2016), which was published to great critical acclaim. She lives in Buenos Aires.
Guadalupe Nettel and Mariana Enriquez were interviewed by Peter Adolphsen at the Louisiana Literature festival at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark in August 2018.

Fascinante entrevista. Llevan consigo un bagaje cultural riquísimo, Mariana y Guadalupe. Comparten lecturas, referencias que las han marcado en su propia propuesta literaria, siempre llena de novedad. Dos escritoras actuales imperdibles.
I love these long interviews/conversations with Latin-American writers. I'm from Mexico, so its nice to see them get recognized in other international mediums.
Mariana Enríquez, un referente inevitable. Divina y buena persona. Para leer y releer y poner su foto en la pared así nos sigue iluminando.
Confirmo.
Dos de mis "crushes" literarios, juntas.
Brilliant format and fascinating guests! I absolutely loved the conversation, it was way more intimate than any interview you could have done. It was basically two brilliant minds discussing their own work and literature and publishing in general. Am really glad to have stumbled on this video ❤️
Que maravillosas escritoras. Un placer su conversación
Creo que es irremediable ya, me he convertido en una fangirl de Mariana Enriquez, una fangirl como ella misma lo es de Nick Cave.
te comprendo, solo pienso en ella y me gasté un pastón en sus libros y no son ni la mitad.
Identificadisimo :’D
Yo igual. Obsesionada con ella
Aqui escuchando la voz de terciopelo de la Nettel desde Seoul
Qué genias, las quiero mucho
Dos autoras extraordinarias hablando de libros, su narrativa, sus temas recurrentes y libros amados. Un regalo para los lectores.
I recomend "Bajar es lo peor", a Mariana Enriquez´book,
Dos de mis escritoras favoritas juntas ❤
como admiran los narradores a los poetas y viceversa
Fantastico
Two superb writers.
Bendito Internet, qué joya de Plática.
11:38 "Creo que Buenos Aires es la ciudad en America Latina con más librerías..." Haha Sim sim eu recordo muito bem do meu professor no colégio dizendo "sabiam que em Buenos Aires tem mais livrarias que o Brasil inteiro? Tem mais livraria na Argentina que padarias no Brasil!" Isso uns 30 poucos anos atras.
si la poesia es un abismo sin limites
Lo único malo de esta conversación es que termina.
Elena Garro "agallas" y vivió por sesgracia a la sombra de Paz
Enriquez empieza hablando sobre Nettel cerca 3:32.
zero images to look at. great
Guapisisisisma
Amo a Mariana, pero creo que Guadalupe Nettel, aunque es una finísima persona, está un poco sobrevalorada :(
Bueno yo leería a Mariana y viviría con Netel
Estos autores modernos creen que ser grotescos y gore es lo culto lo mejor. Jamás serán realmente famosas sino se salen de esos clichés.
Entonces deben ser grotescas y gore?
@@godoy5188 Su literatura es grotesca y Gore, por eso no destacan.
jajajajaja
"Jamás serán realmente famosas". JAAA!
@@marcelogabrielescalada6433 Riete, pero no lo son. La gente conoce a Usabel Allende a García Marquez a Fuentes, a estas nadie las conoce.
la mexicana queriendo darle lecciones a Mariana, que arrogancia.
