If there is a political content worth emphasizing regarding the project of Nicomedes Guzmán and his peers of the 1938 generation, it is that the construction of their idea of a nation starts from a fundamental misconception: the illusion that there is no distance between the artist and the margin, the worker and the literate, the victim and their chronicler, just as there will be no distance among Chileans when they realize that they share the same soul or the same blood. It is true that Blood and Hope he argues in favor of social inclusion, but it is no less true that he intends to enter a space that they themselves seek to define in an essential way.

Nicomedes Guzman
Chile. Óscar Nicomedes Vásquez Guzmán was born in the Barrio Club Hípico of Santiago, Chile, on June 25, 1914. He lived most of his childhood and adolescence in the Barrio Mapocho, the same neighborhood where the action of his most important novels, *Los hombres obscuros* (1939) and *La sangre y la esperanza* (1943), takes place. He was one of the central figures of the 1938 generation, alongside writers such as Carlos Droguett, Juan Godoy, and Francisco Coloane, and the main exponent of the proletarian novel in Chile. Some of his works include: *La ceniza y el sueño* (poetry, 1938), *Los hombres obscuros* (novel, 1939), *La sangre y la esperanza* (novel, 1943), *Donde nace el alba* (short stories, 1944), *La luz viene del mar* (novel, 1951), *Leche de burra* (novella, 1953), *Una moneda al río y otros cuentos* (short stories, 1953), *El pan bajo la bota* (short stories, 1960). He compiled anthologies of Chilean short stories and essays, and was also an active promoter of national literature. He passed away the day after his 50th birthday, on June 26, 1964.Related books
