A literary light shines anew in El Salvador

SAN SALVADOR — His name was Salvador Salazar Arrue, or Salarrue for short, and he’s the greatest Central American writer you’ve probably never heard of. Even here in his homeland, just a few years ago, nobody much was talking about Salarrue. Nobody, that is, except people like Ricardo Aguilar.

“My relation to Salarrue and his family didn’t stop, it doesn’t stop, but I don’t mind because he was a great man,” says Aguilar, speaking of his late friend, artistic mentor and lifelong obsession.

It’s a seasonably balmy December morning, and Aguilar, a painter and writer, is leading a group of visitors on a tour of Salarrue’s former home, now a state-run museum in this far-flung capital’s leafy Los Planes de Rendero neighborhood.

As Aguilar wends his way past display cases crammed with brittle letters and faded photographs, every musty artifact seems to tell a story, every shadowy room and earthquake-sculpted fissure in the old house prompts an anecdote -- about Salarrue’s lifelong spiritual connection to El Salvador’s indigenous p

Salvadoran writer, poet, and painter (1899–1975)

Luis Salvador Efraín Salazar Arrué (October 22, 1899 – November 27, 1975), known as Salarrué (a derivation of his surnames), was a Salvadoran writer, poet, and painter.^[1]

Born in Sonsonate to a well-off family, Salarrué trained as a painter at the Corcoran School of Art, in Washington, D.C., from 1916 to 1919. He then returned to El Salvador and, in 1922, married fellow painter Zélie Lardé, with whom he had three daughters. In the late 1920s he worked as editor for the newspaper Patria, owned by Alberto Masferrer, an important Salvadoran intellectual. To fill in blank spaces in the newspaper, Salarrué wrote a series of short stories which were collected thirty years later as Cuentos d
