Summary

Esta novela rescata una biografía novelada del poeta, Pedro Garfias perteneciente a la Generación del 27, su vida en España, su paso por la Residencia de Estudiantes y amistad con los miembros de dicho grupo, su participación dentro de la… guerra civil, su exilio en México y su muerte en la ciudad de Monterrey, al norte de México.¿Qué es un extravío? ¿significa algo la pérdida? El corazón extraviado es una novela sobre los que no salen en la foto, aquellos artistas mujeres y hombres de la Generación del 27 que no formaron parte de la nómina, pero cuya existencia anodina, se empecina en aparecer. Fueron parte de la Segunda República y vivieron la guerra, acabando desplazados en el exilio.¿Quién fue Pedro Garfias? ¿Quiénes fueron las Sinsombrero? Qué fue Madrid con ellos y los demás, cómo fue su arte y la pérdida de España. Pedro Garfias, un poeta fotografiado con Lorca, Dalí y Buñuel, que luego desaparece para acabar en México, deambulando entre ciudades. Pero también es la historia de una librería y sus fantasmas, asimismo, la de un corazón desplazado de sitio desde la infancia por una extraña anomalía y un ritmo que no funciona bien. El extravío de la memoria del 27 es la misma del corazón descompasado.Lost HeartThis novel rescues a novelized biography of the poet, Pedro Garfias, a member of the Generation of '27, his life in Spain, his time at the Residencia de Estudiantes and his friendship with the members of that group, his participation in the civil war, his exile in Mexico and his death in the city of Monterrey, in the north of Mexico.What is a lost heart? Does loss mean anything? El corazón extraviado is a novel about those who do not appear in the photo, those artists, women and men of the Generation of '27 who were not on the payroll, but whose anodyne existence insists on appearing. They were part of the Second Republic and lived through the war, ending up displaced in exile.Who was Pedro Garfias? Who were the Sinsombrero? What was Madrid with them and the others, how was their art and the loss of Spain. Pedro Garfias, a poet photographed with Lorca, Dalí and Buñuel, who later disappears to end up in Mexico, wandering between cities. But it is also the story of a bookstore and its ghosts, as well as the story of a heart displaced from its childhood by a strange anomaly and a rhythm that does not work well. The misplacement of the memory of 27 is the same as the misplaced heart.
