all of you because they are here this
late
a well-deserved applause for all
you well eh
first then he talked about the
monterrey that I want I do not want to enter
in passing in a number of
issues for example that there is more
books on the streets that have more
paintings in the museums that have more
museums nobody wins but yes I
I would like many companies to close
and they became museums very very
soon as he did founder well eh
for example not being here in the theater
of the city in the theater of the center of
the arts a montage that goes through
example something like this is mom
regiomontana in the house is in said
which is coming gives me a little sad that
day the last days has been a
little sad and mom says do not think
that it is time for you to tell your
dad to whom all in the near future
and the boy who is in high school
says no I think this rule better
tomorrow morning friend
right now empty talks with you
father about this matter and said good
They are very nervous, they do not know what
make for the living room the dining room of the
eat to the patio and suddenly the
dad the dad who was also of
bad mood these days because then
is the theme floating in the air arrives
and sits directly in the room in
your favorite sofa and you start reading the
newspaper there are no newspapers in that
near time to get lost and really not
is focused on what he is
concentrated on those luisito his
relatives that appear here in the
mother whispering to the boy and the boy
that approaches and arrives at the entrance of the
room and he says after clearing
well more or less says dad and dad
he almost made that newspaper fly
tell me is I want to talk to you and if
that as well as if he did not know the truth
Well you know my dad
I do not know if the son and after the
career you want to study and dad
feel a blow
remember that the future a blow in the
soul because he said he’s ready now
tell him what he had so much and tell him
Dad , you know what I liked
professional you know what has always
wanted to wear that has not changed
opinion
the few times he has told you he has
changed because it has been to please and the
patient the skin chinita and a mixture of
emotions between love your child and the
love your profession remember this
is what I want to happen and the son says
dad it’s time to tell you and from
that you do not accept movies that I admit them
the consequences
the truth is that I want to study
accounting and the pope can not be a
family accountant
what I want to happen not and then the
dad find frankly upset he gets
stand up and confront your son
in those times there is no violence
familiar or nothing there is simply
friendly and constructive discussion as
always and and it says something to you like your
grandmother orchestra director your uncle
juan violinista I am the author of
novels and the future is the break
his grandfather was the author of the cathedral something
so your good aunt Yoyita as a painter
and you go out with what you want to be an accountant
believe that I remember what I want
happens and and the boy says yes yes
yes I want to be a public accountant
since new child hidden
I remember when he takes me to another one
painting
if I went out to the teacher’s yard and
I was doing accounts and balances myself
no no no I knew it was wrong and
after my friends that is contagious and
all that because they are counters also going
or no can not be can not believe it well
Monterrey is the applause I
for that boy who finally had the
courage to accept who was like many
of you who accept us does ago
many decades someone did not want
it was like that and that someone was joseph
vasconcelos good was not so much that he
I would like one I would like but simply
he said a phrase that somehow
has been reinterpreted and referred to
we think they remember
different versions of you from this
sentence like that place where the
civilization and culture begins
the roast is we are not
attributed to josé vasconcelos saying no
He is so sure that he has said
and there are also other versions that say
what if he said it but what time later
it was in a roast and he clarified that
he was not referring
but he did not want to offend or anything
good as it is here here what matters
it’s not so much what vasconcelos said to
who by the way we dedicate a street
I do not know why and very filmed to be called
another way in which the important thing here
it’s what we feel when
someone repeats this false phrase or
truly attributed to him we
we feel offended but also
proud
that’s why we like it sometimes that we
say barbarians from the north and that is
very well in a moment we are going to talk about
that does a lot and really a long time
more than 65 million years ago I did not know
if the photo is old but not so
monterrey was effectively like
you imagine under a huge sea
some are the sea of tetis out there
he walked his funds an animal the
pliosaur whose head had the size
of a medium car and they know about that
and that could easily split in two
an elephant the pliosaur whose remains
more more famous were found in the
Aramberri municipality south again
lion is called the monster of
aramberri those marketing names
that the press loves and and good
he’s out there hunting for sharks and
dams and simple no whales by
example does not call me more than 25 meters
long and something very curious is that at
skeleton that was found a few years ago
whose head I tell them was about five or
six meters long by about 4 wide
because he was discovered in the cause of
death and the cause of death maybe I do not
they will believe it but it turns out that
they found that his head was
morbid by a larger pliosaur
He said he probably looks 30 or 35
at least those who will use the
times of our monterrey and where
we are standing today we are
exchanging ideas before in those
times 65 million years ago
we still end the era of
dinosaurs when the sea under par
that sea still exists and we call it
cuatrociénegas say that that water that
is in four coahuila cienegas is
part of that sea and many of the fish
that are there are descendants of the
ancient fish of those times by
that are so different from others in the
world comes suddenly there was a one
scene a little different
these are the hadrosaurs that were
well over here where are we
before when they were children in need
for polite but good is not it
so much that he had already been a child
that the name was changed recently
by the hadrosaur duckbill
herbivores had several predators
behind them because many
of you know as the tyrannosaur
well in monterrey then also has
been ridden by hadrosaurs on the other
kind of dinosaurs and after that
form mucci by woolly rhinos and and
by the immense four meters of
high and between 8,000 and 20,000 years ago
here we should ask araceli
rivera to whom we send a greeting
there was a series of bands or tribes
or indigenous clans that are our
cultural ancestors and who looked
more or less like that more or less but of
this image what I want to highlight is the
central part when the founder diego
from montemayor came to these lands
to found was done by second or by
third time cheated and a series of
questions that are very interesting
found that it was celebrated that a ritual
every morning in which many
indigenous many huachichiles taken
his acts and his arrows and they passed it
throwing those dates at the sun is not
and interpreted with certainty whether what
they wanted was for the sun to go
if what they wanted was for him to stay
what they wanted was married to stay
with its light and heat or what it was that
they wanted with this or even
any other idea that you have
may happen someday we hope we know
the answer to this but in the meantime
we liked the Monterrey residents in
make the comment that what are you
arrows means our ambition
industrious or enterprising all this and
that you have to throw at the sun is good
want to hit the sun but that is the
arrow can fall very far from all
ways although we do not reach the height
of our star king is the disk of
Monterrey is Diego de Montemayor
founding in santa’s water eyes
sported a number of families if
Spanish and Portuguese but also
deleted huachichiles eating fish
irritilas and others from other bands and
groups that had around here is a
very beautiful scene that is in a hotel
of the locality in a large mural well
I saved some years and in 1850 it started
an industrial boom of Monterrey there is
was building the foundry in this
image that I am seeing them because
which is the place where we are
currently so they know it well in
other parts of the world and at that time
Well, the hope was to have a job
I do not know why people want
work and there yes I do not explain
I understand that people want to set a
salary and even that ‘s not what the
people want to eat visit their
relatives have friendships and everything but the
people who are grateful for the work and
well , I think they’re being
forgetting to work but good
we ‘ll leave that for a discussion of
another day soon we agree with knowing
that before the year 1900 is in the
picture that we saw in this area is
build all this after
Vicente Ferrara and a handful of
entrepreneurs came to build
all this not as a hope
economic rather than economic
and well we have to accept that they were others
time
it’s not that I say that that’s wrong or
much less but they were times when
humanity had another kind of
priorities other types of values and of
there of this type of companies
1890 brewery 1900 foundry 1909
stained glass and other more as they emerged
Faces like you surely
recognize here and our friends from
other parts of the world maybe not anymore
recognize but that as a whole
to these four gentlemen and others
finally gentleman especially in these
times they were called the monterrey group
until 30 years ago still say group
monterrey was an acknowledgment of
world famous but in the past
good times or since a long time
back and going through those times up
a few years ago there was also
other faces and these are
these are broken writers and
writers people who before us
he was writing and fantasizing and
narrating and fabulando surroundings on everything
to the city of Monterrey , which is something
that distinguishes us to write about
ourselves is something that does not occur in
all over the world and they are are other
people whom we must thank
especially because in those times in
that the economic boom was the main thing
because they defended their literature
from his trenches publish a novel
that was read in France but it was not read
so much here published in some poems that
circulated from hand to hand among friends
but they did not reach large publishers
there was even an editorial movement
big here in monterrey and this
imagination that reflected us no no
it reached so many eyes to so many hands and
in sum to so many souls well I hope that
recognize and this photo from five
years
I hope you know which one of them 3 am me
the first one with the lightest hair is the
bible the leb and her grandmother was in
literary workshops of mine elena levy yy
sorry your mom elena levin is
writing a novel about his family
he does not follow meinardo garcía varela that
I agree how he went up to the blackboard when
he called him the teacher supports on his
knee and another one is me
there I was writing and in those same
years when I was seven then I was
it happened to do a work that is missing
according to me of an interesting story in
monterrey is wrong but naive
I wanted to write something that will cover
from the origin of everything to the end
everything is for purposes of a
quick explanation
I’m going to tell you that I was writing
the thousand and one nights but regiomontanas
with a genesis at the beginning and a
apocalypse at the end that work that
I started at seven and that strengthening
the 13
and for which I got my first
important information at 18
it’s the only thing he was writing at
throughout my life until these
moments when he talked with you in
the cover so far is my cover
secret from the first time he shows it
in public an applause for the imported
please is a secret door I tell you
because effectively in part a lot
of leaves and I put a book for
be seeing him there saying that book
that I’m going to finish all the books that
has published to date and those that
I’m about to publish belong to that
same work that is monterrey but the
people know them as books
but you will have to read this already
They look great salgado I what I want
and what they imagined that time was
precisely what happens now that this
perol that at some point maybe
spilled by an accident to zero
melted causing several deaths
now it ‘s there and spilling water with
systems that an aunt told me I do not know
how it is not just water but now
I do not either but good in life as the
cleaner air the purest air the
hill beyond the chair is back
and we are here losing
walking and the truth is that the environment
It has changed a lot in this big field
of so many hectares
that in spite of the changuito if I am not
I know if they realize and part of the
effort I have made personally to
side of a lot of people like you and how
many people who have done great
efforts has been to open a channel of
youtube through which he launched a
literary gym among others
exercises and you can see and follow
each of those activities so that
every day they start writing something
I do not know a letter to a loved one
love poem a poem of love a story
childish a story for adults one
soap novel a violent novel
etcetera is not my channel felipe
monterrey and it’s not the only thing I’ve done
I have fun in many other ways
there you had made scope because that
You see back wall back
the wall is that of a hairdresser that
it’s in the old neighborhood and it’s
It will happen soon to invite one of the
hairdressers I would like experiments with my
hair you will see some others
of the findings
that made him liz well done workshops
literary and so far I have more than
150 different literary groups create one
literary factory and provide advice
promote together with other colleagues a
patronage law through which
those people who pay the tax on
payroll to entrepreneurs
look closely at their role now
have the right to grant up to 20% of
he of that tax for creators say
each one of the people who are
here that believes art has the right to
receive up to 500 thousand pesos a year to
devote himself to his art
can pay with that the rent the errand
the tuition of your children your own
tuition in getting further with
lucky professionalize the high art
I was wondering how they existed
barcelona buenos aires in florence
of the medici or the roma
precisely from virgilio or video
because in that Rome there was a man
called patron international tours of
writers and colleagues releases of
books at the book fair and in many
other parts classes and especially
complicities complicities with people to
the one that interests him the same
you see how we recognize ourselves
those who like the same thing about
so not for my intervention but
for those complicities
now we have a lot of faces
that some people have taken for
call the regia spring because in this
year 2006 right in spring
They appeared many of our books
simultaneously in a casual way
some already know they have called or we
they have called barbarians from the north and
some more monterrey group is to say
adopting that old name that
belongs to industrial worldwide
famous now to assign them to fine tune it
to many world famous writers
there are also many familiar faces
that you will see later in your
screens well not only is it necessary that
monterrey becomes a capital of
world class to belong to that
the pe interesting cities that the
unesco has recognized as cities
literary whose names appear there
down but that literature does not work
to reflect our faces to
know who we are
the literature of a nation or of a
town is like the national anthem
It’s like that that painting in which
figure in our hopes our
independence
our yearnings to cure literature
humanity
the litter of his ailments the literature
it tells us who we are and especially
the Monterrey literature
thanks to which we find streets
ours as father mier or diego
Montemayor we still find though
already very rarely in some workshops
literary that criticism to someone to
who they say hears Carlos but do not put
there the name of the street father mier in
France will not know what that is and
well it’s easy to find the
answer I do not care that
france do not know that they run to
internet and look what is that for
find out who we are and
I did not do what feels like
when we read ourselves sometime to
balzac or even to cortázar being
Latin American oas have to us
they talk about the streets of paris as if
we all know and that’s fine
then the monterrey group
this new group this new concept or
this new group launches the
our literature and with that does not launch
all of us to the world well before
to finish I want to leave a task
because this is not a practice anymore
teachers listen to me this is a
talk for you to get
work also did the homework that
they have to do at home in case
they want to take notes or if they want
memorize it the task is to write
you are a story of two people
that they love to call somehow already
you see there are many ways to
love and that they could not be together
until they are in this
conference where are you
they write more I’m better they write
eternally many
