Literatura epistolar Varios autores Narrativa Conaculta-Océano. México. 1999, 398 págs.
Dar a conocer la correspondencia privada de personajes es una actividad tan antigua como el cristianismo (recordemos las cartas de los apóstoles que consigna el Nuevo Testamento). En el estudio introductorio a Literatura epistolar, Alfonso Reyes advierte que, luego de leer las páginas de Mark Twain sobre el arte de escribir cartas, «uno se convence que ello es mucho más difícil que escribir una historia de romanos y casi tan difícil como escribir un buen cuento». El lector podrá asomarse aquí a las quejas, confidencias y motivos de asombro que se repiten incansablemente en la vida de hombres y mujeres; siendo testigo del cariño que Cicerón le dedicaba a su esposa Terencia, o del sentimentalismo indiferente, casi desdeñoso, de Abelardo hacia Eloísa. Cartas de Baudelaire, Van Gogh, Swift, Stevenson, Mozart, Goethe, Nietzsche, Dostoievsky, Melville, se reúnen en este buzón que nos entrega la complicidad de Conaculta y Océano. A lo largo de su lectura, Literatura epistolar mostrará al lector la calidad empeñada por estos grandes hombres de la cultura en sus cartas, como invitación a imitarles, incluso, en la virtualidad de los mensajes electrónicos que, por cierto, podrían erigirse en otro género literario: el desechable.
