En torno a la narrativa de Jorge Baron Biza Tanzi, Francisco Reconciliación Decadentismo Idealismo Reconciliation Decadentism Idealism The work of Jorge Baron Biza, El desierto y su semilla, is a novel just composed of grafts, of experiences –i. e., of memories in which sensation predominates, as Baron Biza himself argues in his programmatic text about the genre he practices–. This enhances the idea about this novel as a montage of grafts that are presented in chapters stripped off all intrigue, all epic, and all development and purpose. There, each experience is a past event, closed as a monad, which, in play with the others, promotes a dialectical movement that despite its attempts, cannot arrive at any synthesis, and thus settling for the movement itself since at least in its search, something that tragically fell apart (family life, the mother’s face) is being reconstructed. Here, aestheticizing details of corrosion also point to a decadent spirit: a rhetoric of the splendor of ruin, of the decomposition of form. This autobiographical novel seems to seek a kind of purging or purification of the heavy family history through writing so that its cathartic nature can be understood. Then his conciliatory hope, of sterile achievement, operates together with a decadence that at least seeks a sublimation of decay; that of his legacy. La obra de Jorge Baron Biza, El desierto y su semilla, no es sino una novela compuesta de injertos, de vivencias –i.e., de recuerdos en los que predomina más la sensación, tal como argumenta en su programático texto referido al género que practica–. Con ello cobra fuerza la idea de su novela como un montaje de injertos que son presentados en capítulos despojados de toda intriga, de toda épica, de todo desarrollo y finalidad. Allí cada vivencia es un suceso pretérito, cerrado como una mónada, que en juego con los otros promueve un movimiento dialéctico que, aunque pretenda, sabe que no podrá arribar a síntesis alguna, conformándose con el movimiento mismo puesto que al menos en su búsqueda se va reconstruyendo algo de lo que trágicamente se desmoronó (la vida familiar, el rostro de la madre). Aquí, detalles estetizantes de la corrosión también señalan un espíritu decadentista: una retórica del esplendor de la ruina, de la descomposición de la forma. La novela autobiográfica parece procurarse por medio de la escritura un tipo de purga, así se comprende su naturaleza catártica, especie de purificación de la pesada historia familiar por medio de la escritura. Entonces su esperanza conciliatoria, de estéril consecución, opera conjuntamente con un decadentismo que al menos procura una sublimación de la decadencia; la de su mayorazgo.
