Grande pequeno escritor da coluna literária (JB)

Carlos Herculano lança seu novo livro de crônicas e tem sua vida contada em cordel

Quem foi ao Fórum das Letras, entre um bate-papo e outro teve a oportunidade de conhecer um pouco de alguns autores mineiros que participaram do evento. Autores como Carlos Herculano Lopes, colunista do jornal Estado de Minas, cronista competente, escritor premiado de oito livros publicados e participação em diversas antologias. Carlos Herculano é muito conhecido e querido em Belo Horizonte, cidade onde mora e que retrata em suas crônicas. Este ano, Olegário Alfredo, cordelista mineiro, fez da vida do autor um bonito cordel, onde desfila sua infância, seus livros e seus prêmios, conta dos em forma de versos, chamado Carlos Herculano Lopes, grande pequeno menino da coluna literária.

Carlos Herculano no Arnaldo (colégio onde estudou)
Foi traça de biblioteca
Lia até bula da remédio
Ou como criar perereca,
Lia Drummond e Rosa
Quer no verso ou na prosa
Até cair na soneca.

Carlos Herculano está lançando seu novo livro de crônicas, Entre BH e Texas, pela editora Record, onde cenas do dia-a-dia de BH são contados com sotaque mineiro e sensibilidade. Na escrita de Herculano, a mãe que espera seu filho voltar para casa, a mulher sozinha que paquera em um bar, o limpador de vidros, o fumante que não consegue largar o vício, ganham ares de grandes personagens. Ou como disse Olegário Alfredo, em seu competente cordel:

A poesia está presente
Em qualquer forma ou lugar
Entre Beagá e Texas
Ela está sempre a pulsar
Basta ter olho e coração
Uma caneta na mão
E papel para rabiscar

Economics
Argentine growth feeds investor optimism
Argentina bond risk fell the most in Latin America over the past three months as quickening economic growth and a $12.9 billion debt restructuring boosted confidence in the country’s ability to pay its debt.

 
Identity/Culture
Keeping an Incan mystery alive
Rapaz’s isolation has allowed it to guard an enduring archaeological mystery: a collection of khipus, the cryptic woven knots that may explain how the Incas — in contrast to contemporaries in the Ottoman Empire and China’s Ming dynasty — ruled a vast, administratively complex empire without a written language.

House hunting in ... Colombia
The apartment is on the second story of a three-story, walk-up building, constructed of concrete about 40 years ago. The old city is Cartagena's tourist and cultural center; shopping, dining and public transportation are within walking distance.

 
Migration Issues
Grief across Latam for migrant killings
He was warned the journey north would be hard, so Gilmar Morales beefed up on eggs and sausage, bought some ham sandwiches from the bodega across the street, told his mother he loved her and set off with two other relatives on a path well-traveled by young people here in one of Latin America’s poorest countries.

 
Living/People
Trapped Chilean miners forge refuge
Mario Gómez is all too familiar with the hardships of prolonged confinement. While still in his 30s, his family said, he survived as a stowaway on a ship for 11 days, living below deck on little more than bits of chocolate and drops of water collected in a shoe — an ordeal so trying it brought him closer to God.

 Our Opinion
Legalize, regulate and tax drugs

It’s great they got these drug lords, but they will be replaced quickly. Law enforcement is helpless in the fight against the cartels due to their economic ability to sustain their criminal activities.
