translated from Spanish: Writer Alberto hills: “Attracts Me the sense rupture in the arts”

It was 2017 when archipelago, published “Sir”, careful Edition book that brings together hundreds of c ARTAS that for years the writer and painter Alberto hills sent to various media of the country.
What started as a way to speak up for the defense of Sewell, mining town that was destined to oblivion and abandonment once the State of Chile acquired it in 1977 as part of the nationalization of the copper, became a daily exercise of this desta Ed Chilean architect.
With that book hills became known, above all by the hilarious, clear and ironical in his letters, which contrary to what you might imagine were brief, almost as precursors of the twitter.

New book
Today Alberto hills returns with tales, four stories that have in common a special mood, as says it the literary critic Pedro Gandolfo in the prologue to “Choice for Chowder”.
“Alberto Collados, perhaps since she has also written poetry, dominates an agitated by materials and imaginative prose or anti material (don’t forget here the gravitation of Nicanor Parra), foundations of their verbal construction in a daring bet” irreverent. The order of the stories in this book reveals a clear intention. “Some insolent boldness, as conventional anti, is accompanied by touches of black humor, with different intensities and tones”, express.
“The stories included in the book ‘Assortment for stew’ due to subjects as diverse as the survival of the placentas after childbirth, an allegory to the death of Antonio Gaudí, the development of a story about childhood told by Nicanor, and a tour of deaf also inspired by conversations with Parra, hardly can generate a unitary book. These writings are inserts in a rarefied and disconcerting atmosphere a unchaste mockery suffered readers”, says hills.
Architectural activity
In the Visual arts oriented concerns into watercolor, ten years directs the Hardy Wistuba Watercolour contest with huge participation and quality, and teaches at the workshop Bremen-Wistuba.
Hills main activity has been the architecture, in the field of design and construction, in teaching and in the Trade Union, stands out the project and the construction of a section of the remodeling San Luis, where today is the Parque Araucano, whose last vestiges they were belatedly declared national monument.
Another monument, not only national, but of humanity, is the town of Sewell, whose partial conservation is rescued on the basis of the campaign that started in the Decade of the seventies to save it from total demolition, and that began forty years of short letters to the director Today gathered in another recent book: “Sir”.
“I am not a compulsive or systematic reader, I can highlight authors like Baudelaire, Aesop, Lagerkvist, Eguren, Kafka, appeals to me with great force the sense rupture in the arts, of which I am a gozador fan more than a cultor or a diffuser”.
