The popular Cuban actor Luis Alberto García Novoa congratulated his daughter Camila García on her birthday, quoting in his social media message an unforgettable excerpt from the novel Rayuela, by Argentine writer Julio Cortázar.
“In Rayuela style,” the actor indicated in an Instagram post where he congratulated his eldest daughter with a fragment from the well-known chapter of this novel in which La Maga speaks to her son, the little Rocamadour.
"I have my toes completely curled in, I'm going to burst my shoes if I don't take them off, and I love you so much… BLUE EYES… little garlic tooth, I love you so much, sugar nose, little tree, little toy horse… Your BIRTHDAY is mine. Dad," Luis Alberto wrote to his daughter.
The poetic congratulation was accompanied by photographs of the actor with his daughter when she was little (in one, he ties her school scarf), and the last one with Camila as an adult, in which the resemblance of her eyes to her father's is noticeable.
"There is something called time, Rocamadour, it's like a bug that keeps going and going. I can't explain it to you because you are so little," the Maga tells her baby in Rayuela.
And yes, "time passes," as Pablo Milanés would say. And "the world no longer matters if one doesn't have the strength to keep choosing something true," as Cortázar, or la Maga, would say.
"I cannot and do not want to remain silent or be complicit in regrettable events like this, nor bow my head to the onslaught of insults, derogatory adjectives, and nouns that have begun to appear on social media and in government publications referring to those who deviate, whether slightly or significantly, from a single doctrinal thought that is intended to be mandatory," said Luis Alberto in support of the intellectual Alina Bárbara López Hernández, who was recently expelled from the ranks of the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba (UNEAC) for political reasons.
