Overview and metadata sections
Juan García Ponce was a Mexican novelist, dramatist, short story writer, and critic. Born in Mérida, Yucatán, in 1932, García Ponce later moved to Mexico City, where he studied drama at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras and the Centro Mexicano de Escritores. After completing his studies in 1958, he worked as an editor and art and literary critic for a number of periodicals, including Vuelta and Universidad de México. García Ponce also directed the Revista Mexicana de Literatura.
García Ponce was best known for his novels, including Crónica de la Intervención and La casa en la playa, and his critical essays, collected in volumes such as El reino milenario and Imágenes y visiones. His plays, such as Doce y una, trece, were also celebrated, and several of his works were adapted as films, Tajimara (adapted as Los bienamados) being the most notable example. He received many prestigious awards during his lifetime, including the Medalla Eligio Ancona in 1996 and the Premio Juan Rulfo in 2001. After battling multiple sclerosis for many years, García Ponce died in Mexico City on December 27, 2003.
The collection consists of the personal and working papers of Juan García Ponce. It features multiple drafts of his novels, including La casa en la playa, Figura de paja, and El gato; his plays, including Doce y una, trece and a number of unpublished works; screenplays, including Tajimara, plans and outlines for screenplays, and unproduced works; short stories, some previously uncollected; and essay collections, as well as many uncollected essays. Also included are video recordings of movies based on García Ponce's work, conferences pertaining to his work, and presentations of awards to the author. The audio recordings include a number of literary and artistic conferences and a reading of Tajimara by García Ponce himself.
García Ponce's correspondence with literary figures, artists, publishers, and critics, covering the period 1949-2003, includes letters to and by Inés Arredondo, Miguel Cervantes, Manuel Felguerez, Alberto Gironella, Juan José Gurrola, Pierre Klossowski, Denise Levertov, Juan Vicente Melo, Octavio Paz, Vicente Rojo, Juan Soriano, and Mario Vargas Llosa.
