Timeline

1947

In 1947, shortly before his death, he published the book of short stories La Ultima Erranza. In 1952, his Biografía del Pueblo Indio (completed in 1936) was published, and in 1956 another book of his stories was published.

Lara left an unfinished novel titled Guandos when he died in 1947; Nela Martinez completed the book and it was published in 1982. Both writers are credited as the authors of Guandos

In the beginning of 1947, Lara fell ill as the consequence of a fistula. Doctors tried to cure him with various treatments to no avail. His paternal uncle Julián Lara Calderón wanted to take him to the U.S. to seek treatment, but he was denied a visa, so he went to Lima, Peru, but they expelled him from the country due to his affiliation with the communist party. He returned to Guayaquil, where he died on a Sunday, November 16, 1947, at his home, at around 1pm.

1946

Many of his stories were collected in Las Cruces Sobre el Agua, a novel published in 1946, which he wrote in pencil 5 years earlier at the age of 21. Two other works, "Los Guandos" and "La Bruja," were published posthumously.

Lara wrote literary criticism and commentary, and wrote the prologues to books such as Estatuas en el mar (1946) by Rafael Díaz Ycaza, Las huellas de una raza (1941) by Marco Antonio Lamota, and Tierra, son, y tambor (1945) by Adalberto Ortiz, among others. He also wrote book reviews in newspapers and magazines. Some of the books he critiqued include Vida del ahorcado (1933) by Pablo Palacio, Los animales puros by Pedro Jorge Vera, and Elba (1946) by Pedro Jijón Salcedo.

1944

On October 4, 1944, Lara was awarded the Gold Medal from the Municipality of Guayaquil for his patriotic journalism.

1935

In 1935, Lara, 26, married Nela Martínez Espinosa, 21, in Ambato. The marriage ended in divorce, but they remained friends throughout their lives.

1930

In 1930, he wrote the collection of short stories Los Que Se Van, together with Demetrio Aguilera Malta and Enrique Gil Gilbert. He was part of the "Guayaquil Group" (a group of authors who used social realism in their writing) and played an active role in leftist politics.

1909

Joaquín Gallegos Lara (April 9, 1909 – November 16, 1947) was an Ecuadorian social realist novelist, short story writer, poet, and essayist.

Joaquín Gallegos Lara was born in Guayaquil in 1909, the son of Emma Lara Calderon and Joaquín Gallegos Del Campo (1873–1910) who founded a newspaper called "El Caustico" in 1895, which was satirical in nature and pro-Eloy Alfaro. Besides being a journalist, his father also wrote poems, which his wife Emma published after his death in a book called Mis Recuerdos (1912), which contained two poems dedicated to his son Joaquín Gallegos Lara: "A mi primogenito" and "El primer diente".

1898

Despite being crippled, Lara fought as a militant communist and intellectual in Ecuador. He participated in street battles and blockades, with the help of a friend who carried him on his shoulders and acted as his legs. He never attended school and was completely self-taught. He spoke French, German, Italian, and Russian almost perfectly. He started writing poems at about 10 years old, when he found out of the suicide death of Medardo Ángel Silva (1898–1919).
