Pero no es as\u00ed. El toreo es aqu\u00ed nada m\u00e1s \u2014y tambi\u00e9n nada menos\u2014 que la urdimbre donde Requena teje una fabulosa introspecci\u00f3n en los hondones del ser humano: la soberbia, el amor, el desprecio, la derrota, la muerte.El narrador de la novela va de la primera persona a la tercera, cambia de personaje sin que nos demos cuenta, va del pasado al presente, de la realidad a lo so\u00f1ado, a esa pesadilla que est\u00e1 sufriendo Goyo. Es un caos buscado porque ca\u00f3tica se presenta la vida misma, como la peque\u00f1a sociedad que muestra la novela en espejo de nuestra sociedad, la antigua y la actual. \u00abEl Cuajar\u00f3n\u00bb no te atrapa por su trama, sino por la psicolog\u00eda de sus personajes.La lectura puede resultar dif\u00edcil, por su juego de narradores y la estructura at\u00edpica de los parlamentos. Pero lo cierto es que el manejo del lenguaje de Requena est\u00e1 al alcance de todos, con una prosa sencilla y casi l\u00edrica.\u00abCon \u201cEl cuajar\u00f3n\u201d\u00bb, escribe el profesor de la Universidad de Sevilla \u00c1ngel Acosta Romero en su libro dedicado a la vida y obra del autor, \u00abRequena encontr\u00f3 el molde literario y narrativo que buscaba; un molde al que seguir\u00e1 fiel en toda su producci\u00f3n posterior. En todo caso, para el an\u00e1lisis profundo que deber\u00e1 hacerse en el futuro de su producci\u00f3n novel\u00edstica, no deben olvidarse dos detalles que ya hemos visto aparecer: su inicial dedicaci\u00f3n a la poes\u00eda \u2014su inter\u00e9s por la narrativa parece, como se ha visto, muy tard\u00eda\u2014, y su profundo conocimiento de los entresijos del mundo de los toros. \u201cEl cuajar\u00f3n\u201d es la historia, real y so\u00f1ada, de un muchacho de pueblo que pretende y llega a ser figura del toreo y, como hemos dicho, en este primer relato extenso, Requena deja claros cu\u00e1les son sus fundamentos creativos, tanto a nivel expresivo como en sus constantes tem\u00e1ticas, a las que nos referiremos m\u00e1s adelante. Con \u201cEl cuajar\u00f3n\u201d, aquel primer ensayo narrativo extenso, que Requena no estaba seguro de poder terminar, pero que termin\u00f3, y que supuso, merecid\u00edsimamente, su mayor momento de gloria literaria, Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda hab\u00eda encontrado el molde que buscaba para contar las muchas vidas de su propia vida, los m\u00faltiples personajes, tan fuertemente autobiogr\u00e1ficos y, por ello, tan aut\u00e9nticos, que su imaginaci\u00f3n engendraba al calor de la ceniza de un cigarro y al amparo de la noche abierta, y para \u00e9l acogedora. Su primera novela resume, magistral, su universo, su mundo, su vida, su palabra. En ella est\u00e1n, y lo sabe, y lo asume, todas las historias del futuro. El resto de su obra son las vidas recontadas de una sola vida, que es la Vida con may\u00fasculas y sin tapujos. Nunca rompi\u00f3 el molde, pero supo sacar de \u00e9l, por lo flexible y lo aut\u00e9ntico, cientos de momentos literarios incomparables. Con las novelas de Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda ocurre igual que con El Quijote, pueden abrirse por cualquier p\u00e1gina y, al leer, encontrar condensado un mundo y una vida a trav\u00e9s de un discurso repleto de sentido\u00bb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Requena<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":61006,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[23],"product_cat":[5808,5807,5806,9772],"product_tag":[5822],"class_list":["post-15076","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-epub-paradise","product_cat-ebooks","product_cat-epub","product_cat-espanol","product_cat-jose-maria-requena","product_tag-drama","desktop-align-center","tablet-align-left","mobile-align-center","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
