\"\"<\/a>El pasado 7 de octubre fallec\u00eda F\u00e9lix Romeo. En las numerosas reacciones a su prematura y repentina muerte, con solo cuarenta y tres a\u00f1os, se repiten con frecuencia los encendidos elogios a su categor\u00eda humana y literaria.<\/p>\n

Carism\u00e1tico, generoso y brillante, su obra derrocha fuerza y energ\u00eda, no exenta de tintes fatalistas, como se refleja en Amarillo<\/em> (2008), basado en el impacto que le produjo el suicidio de un amigo \u00edntimo a\u00f1os antes.<\/p>\n

Su personalidad polifac\u00e9tica combinaba sin esfuerzo su trabajo como poeta, escritor, articulista, traductor, ensayista y presentador del prestigioso programa cultural La mandr\u00e1gora. Particip\u00f3 hasta como actor ocasional; su salida de la c\u00e1rcel tras casi un a\u00f1o, despu\u00e9s de ser condenado por un delito de insumisi\u00f3n, se reflej\u00f3 en un corto de Fernando Trueba, parte del largometraje Lumi\u00e8re et compagnie<\/em>. El director quiso plasmar su visi\u00f3n de la magia del nacimiento del cine a trav\u00e9s del expresivo rostro de Romeo.<\/p>\n

En sus otras novelas se mezclan igualmente iron\u00eda, humor y tristeza. En Dibujos animados<\/em>\u00a0(1994) realiza una novela fragmentaria, inspirada en Perec, que retrata su infancia en el barrio zaragozano de Las Fuentes.<\/p>\n

Discoth\u00e8que<\/em> (2001) es una comedia negra y coral que mezcla la experiencia en la c\u00e1rcel del autor con alusiones literarias y humor, donde caben tanto el imaginario del cine y la literatura norteamericana, como el iluminado Miguel de Molinos y el futbolista del Real Zaragoza, Nayim.<\/p>\n

Poco antes de morir hab\u00eda terminado un nuevo libro, Noche de los enamorados<\/em>\u00a0(2012), reflexi\u00f3n sobre el crimen, la justicia y la libertad donde investigaba el caso de un compa\u00f1ero de celda en la prisi\u00f3n de Torrero.<\/p>\n

En el a\u00f1o 2009, tuvimos el placer de acogerle con motivo de la Semana de las Letras organizada en el Instituto Cervantes de Dubl\u00edn. Este mes recordamos su obra en nuestra biblioteca<\/a> y a trav\u00e9s de una mesa redonda<\/a> que se celebrar\u00e1 el pr\u00f3ximo 29 de mayo a las 6 de la tarde en el Caf\u00e9 Literario.<\/p>\n

F\u00e9lix Romeo<\/a> died on October 7th. There were numerous reactions and praise about his excellence as a writer and human\u00a0being after his early and sudden death at the age of 43.<\/p>\n

Charismatic, generous and outstanding; his work radiates strength and energy and also a fatalistic overtone, as it was reflected in Amarillo<\/em> (2008), based on how the suicide of a close friend had an impact on him.<\/p>\n

His versatile personality combined different sides as poet, writer, columnist, translator, essayist and TV presenter of the prestigious programme La mandr\u00e1gora. He even participated as an actor, after spending a year in prison due to his refusal to serve military service. He was filmed on his way out of prison in a Fernando Trueba\u00b4s short-film which is part of the film Lumi\u00e8re et compagnie<\/em>. The director wanted to capture the magic of the birth of cinema through Romeo\u00b4s expressive face.<\/p>\n

Irony, humour and sadness mix in his other novels as well. Dibujos animados<\/em> (1994) is a fragmentary novel, inspired by Perec. It portrays his childhood in a neighbourhood in Zaragoza.<\/p>\n

Discoth\u00e8que<\/em> (2001) is an ensemble and dark comedy that mixes his experiences in prison and literary and humoristic references: there is place for cinema images, North American literature, the enlightened Miguel de Molinos or the Real Zaragoza football player, Nayim.<\/p>\n

Just a little bit before his death, he finished a new book, Noche de los enamorados<\/em>\u00a0(2012) , a reflection about crime, justice and freedom while he researches the case of a cell mate at Torrero prison.<\/p>\n

We had the pleasure of having him as a guest in the Semana de las Letras organized by Instituto Cervantes Dublin in 2009. We remember his work this month at our library<\/a> and also with a round-table<\/a> on May 29th at 6pm in Caf\u00e9 Literario.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
