Thanks to this task, I've come to realize that I haven't got any references in journalism. I mean, I love the work of some journalist but they're not my references. Anyway, I'm going to talk about a great writer, journalism and film director. He is chilean and his name is Alberto Fuget.

I didn't know a lot about his work until I bought a book written by him called 'Mala Onda'. I read it in the past vacation while I was sitting in the sand in Viña del Mar. I was passing through a strange moment in my life and I may say that this book helped me to understand some things about life. Well, it was a point to Fuguet, but it wasn't enough to become a fan of his.

And then, some months ago I bought another book. The book is called 'El mejor periodismo chileno de 2009'. In the book, there are a lot of cronicles, interviews and reportages. One of the cronicles is 'No es ciudad para débiles'. It's a gret story about Mexico City and it was written by, guess who? Alberto Fuguet. In that book, I found that Fuguet studied journalism in Universidad de Chile. That is a big point to him.

And another day, reading a magazine I found another cronicle written by Fuguet. It was amazing! I just loved it. And it wasn't just a stupid story about something that happened some day. He took a story about a suicide and wrote a reflection about the non-places. A fantastic theory made by Marc Augé, Michael de Certeau and some others anthropologists. That cronicle made me see some things of live in another way, too. The name of the cronicle is 'Ir de picnic a no-lugares'.


The last thing that I have known about Fuguet is that he launched a website called 'Cinepata'. In Cinepata you cand find long movies and shorts. The good point is that all is for free. You can download the movies without being illegal. I downloaded a short directed by Fuguet called '2 horas'. And it was really good. It has a great photography.

So, all those things that I have said makes him one of the best. I love his work because it's deep. It's not another new that you read in the newspaper. He writes things that makes you think. And I believe that his Cinepata idea is just amazing.
