The Cathedral and the Closet in Severino Salazar
Abstract
“The closet and the cathedral in Severino Salazar’s first novel, Where cathedrals are supposed to be (1984)” aims to analyze the meaning of Baldomero Berumen’s suicide the day before he should marry; and the death of his friend Crescencio Montes owner of a convenience store in Tepentongo, a town 40 miles away from the Capital city Zacatecas in 1957. Such violence committed against themselves was due to the fact that homosexuality was not accepted in Mexican society in the 50’s. Being fervent Catholics, Severino Salazar as well as Vicente Leñero, both writers criticize the Catholicism: its hierarchic structure, corruption and hypocrisy: that’s why “Cathedral” is not to be understood as a building, but as a spiritual construction of the sinner’s faith.Downloads
