VICENTE WORKED AS A VOLUNTEER IN THE POLYCLINIC OF THE NUNS of Montserrat, OF THREE BUSES. VICENTE WORKED AS A VOLUNTEER IN THE POLYCLINIC OF THE NUNS of Montserrat, OF THREE BUSES. Before and after running the Pain Clinic, for an upper middle class, Dr. Orlando Vicente many days wore a tie and a white coat, took one or two buses, toured some muddy blocks that were a risk area and are now more, a Little insured to his medical bag, and attended to up to sixty patients a day, poor, with a social assistance card, in a neighborhood of Montevideo, close to La Teja and Cerro.It was not very easy to wait for the bus, sometimes at a stop desolate. People with or without stable work, sympathetic, talkative, who hardly collaborated even with coins in the tin of the solidarity and fraternal polyclinic. With many and diverse ailments, many nutritional. He was preferred. Perhaps attracted by his foreign accent, I think He did not have Uruguayan nationality ... He thus remembered his time at the Chinandega hospital, there were certain similarities. I hardly saw Father Telechea, but the very kind nuns, who brought him to you, and especially one, Italian, who supported him and missed her very much when she left for Rome, ... I don't remember his name. Orlando did not do it for the institution, I think, nor for the copper virgin, but for faith in the Most High, vocation in social medicine and his own historical situation as an immigrant, almost a spiritual refugee.

-------------- "I WILL BE MORE FAMOUS DEAD THAN NOW THAT I LIVE" Orlando Vicente Alvarez, the great Uruguayan Cuban writer, told me before he died. As I was and am his biographer, by personal choice and admiration, and he accepted me, I must work so that this prophecy is fulfilled. It is true that it is enough that a single book by him shows that he is a genius, that happened for example with the book "The plot of fools", a crazy, acidic, unpredictable and highly intelligent novel. Fun, that she alone showed that John Kennedy Toole was and is a genius, since the genius never dies. That is why I tell myself ". I will get to work on that fame" AMILCAR JESUS LEGAZCUE DE LEON - "I WILL BE MORE FAMOUS DEAD THAN NOW THAT I LIVE"

I am an admirer of the strong and lacerating literature of Orlando Vicente BACK TO GUANTANAMO, BACK TO G, ------ I am an admirer of the strong and lacerating literature of Orlando Vicente, as I am an admirer of Leopardi, Vallejo and Gelman, especially the one I generated after the coma, as long and devastating as death. However, this short excerpt, written about two years before the coma, moves me intimately. It is that the subject of Returning to the geographical past is always an impossible one The place of nostalgia does not exist, it already was, it disappeared, the paradise we live in is always unrecoverable-

HUMOR AND COSTUMBRISM. GUANTANAMO MON AMOUR. GUANTANAMO MON AMOUR As in the old Alain Resnair movie can no longer say Guantanamo mon amour and less living a romance under the rubble of a war. If it looks like a city after a bombing, only the center of Marti Park remosado as an image in Technicolor for tourists who spend long in their micro refrigerated is pleasing to the eye. For my house passes a crier selling ice cream in that terrible summer or offering mangos and dry off season. Everyone can live as sought. The salary is not enough and must look for extra money to buy food and clothing. I do not understand the obsession of guantanamerian _ or will of all the cuban people_ by flattery. The empty stomach is not seen but a good cowboy brand is displayed with ostentation. Mind of underdevelopment. I see the Shell of the Marti park smaller as I saw before and the parish of Saint Catalina seems a simple chapel lost in the distance of the field. The source of the Avenue and Ahogados where I used to sit and take in the fresh, sporting a spectacular architectural monument that all deformed. Who would think such a landmark is a sculpture. Huambo the movies have had to put a Roman arches for coupling to the environment. It occupies the space where once was the Luke cinema, an ice cream shop and a space where exhibitions exemplary cattles take place. It was made in all that space one movie, small, austere in style Giron or Breztniana construcion that prevailed in those days. The worst thing is to have a picture of the past without seeing that everything changes but change for the worse. The city has become a jumble of small plate houses of two floors. All the same. The landscape does not change throughout giving sight. No, I can not say "mom amour Hiroshima" has not yet been bombed but people walk through the streets as if it were.
