Juan Rulfo was born in Sayula, Mexico on May 16th, 1918.
Rulfo's writing became important to the genre of "magic realism," a discipline that incorporated techniques such as interior monologue, flashbacks, the voice of the dead, and a stream-of-consciousness style of writing.
Juan does not discount the wisdom of the dead, and soon learns many things about the history of his father, the legacy he left behind, and frightening specifics about the state of death.

 Juan Rulfo
Rulfo's reputation is based on two slim books, El llano en llamas (1953, The Burning Plain), a collection of short stories, which included his admired tale 'Tell Them, Not to Kill Me!', and the novel Pedro Páramo (1955), one of the models for Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude.
Juan Rulfo was born Juan Nepomuceno Carlos Pérez Vizcaíno Rulfo in Sayula, in the province of Jalisco, into a family of landowners.
During Rulfo's childhood the region was a scene of political unrest, erosion and war, and it later provided the background and atmosphere of his fiction.

 el ángel caído - Dust to dust - Juan Rulfo - Ergo Rodrerich
Juan Rulfo does not escape this assertion and even more so, he has been considered an example and school (creating products that were not always accurate).
Rulfo's background feeds both of his areas of work: literature (he has won many prizes and is well acknowledged) and photography (not truly discovered by the majority).
Rulfo's great skill as a photographer is to have transformed an external image into an internal symbol, the deep grief of the Mexican peasants we wouldn't be wrong to call it universal, considering how deeply he explored the human element).

Juan narrates and guides the reader on his journey to the dusty, desolate village, now populated by ghosts, lost souls who murmur to him, sighing and complaining in desperate voices, until he believes that he too is dead.

 HISTORY OF MEXICO - THE FEW, THE PROUD, THE WORK OF JUAN RULFO - BY JIM TUCK IN MEXICO CONNECT
Rulfo was born on May 16, 1917, in the village of San Gabriel, Jalisco, today Ciudad Venustiano Carranza.
Rulfo was a voracious reader his entire life, his interest in books sparked by an incident that took place when he was eight.
Along with the Revolution, Rulfo -- scarred by the Cristero War as a young boy -- writes with uncompromising clarity about religion, the clergy and the cacique (regional boss) system that were such defining features of the rural Mexico of his youth.

Rulfo will delay the reader's ability to understand who is speaking or writing, or how reliable that narrator is. These tales are not light, wistful moments of ironic musings.

 Meridian Magazine :: Arts : Juan Rulfo Photography Exhibition Explores Landscape and People of Mexico
PROVO, Utah —During the 1940s and 50s, Mexican writer Juan Rulfo (1917-1986) explored the root and character of Mexican identity by turning his attention, and his camera, to rural Mexico.
One of the most influential members of his generation, Rulfo experienced first hand as a child the violence and social unrest of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1917) and subsequent Cristero Revolt (1926-1928), events that dramatically shaped modern Mexico.
“The Juan Rulfo Film and Lecture Series was organized to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Rulfo’s death by celebrating his life, his literature and his passion for the visual image,” says Douglas Weatherford, BYU Spanish professor and series organizer.

 Confusion, the Critics, and Ambiguities in Juan Rulfo's Pedro Páramo
Juan Rulfo himself appears to have given two different versions on Juan Preciado.
Probably because Juan Preciado is a direct narrator in the novel, the ambiguity of him being dead or alive at certain point has been noticed for almost every critic who has written on the book.
In those cases, it’s evident that Juan Rulfo was trying to keep as close as he could to the coloquial Spanish spoken in Mexico —and even other Latin American countries.

The ghosts of Comala flit by Juan in a dreamlike, hypnotic progression: the suicide Eduviges Dyada; a pair of incestuous lovers; disillusioned priest Father Rentería...
Rulfo writes with extraordinary lyrical beauty about his flyblown wasteland village (the name "Páramo" is Spanish for wasteland), and Margaret Sayers Peden's translation sensibly keeps things as simple as possible, letting Rulfo's images speak for themselves: the dust; the rain; the echoing empty streets.
Juan Rulfo begins by telling the story of a son who is searching for his father.

 Pedro Páramo - Juan Rulfo
It is a lost place, crushed by Juan 's father, Pedro Páramo, a place of desolation and, at best, memory.
Juan's dying mother implores him to go to Comala, and: "Little by little I began to build a world of hope centred on the man called Pedro Páramo".
It is soon apparent that the centre Páramo holds is one of despair, not hope, all of Comala in his dark, dark clutches.

 Juan Rulfo, The Sound of Death
Have you heard the cry of the dead ?” asks Juan Rulfo through the voice of Doña Eduviges in his masterpiece Pedro Páramo.
Rulfo’s magic lies in being able to capture, as very few artists can, the essence of Mexico: its timelessness, the murmurs of the past which persist in the present.
Juan Rulfo masterfully presents this ambivalent relationship, and it is because of this that his only novel Pedro Páramo is one of the masterpieces of world literature.

Rulfo's 1955 surrealist novel portrays a man's quest for his Mexican heritage.
Rulfo's entrancing mixture of vivid sensory images, violent passions, and inexplicable sorcery - a style that has come to be known as "magical realism" - has exerted a profound influence on subsequent Latin American writers.
Pedro Páramo's Juan Rulfo is one of the best mexican writers book, it has everything that a master play needs: quality, greatness and incomprehensible simplicity.

 Amazon.ca: Pedro Páramo: Books: Juan Rulfo,Josephine Sacabo,Margaret Sayers Peden   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The opening of this brief yet complex work is deceptively simple: Juan Preciado has promised his dying mother that he will visit Comala, her hometown, and search for his father, Pedro Paramo.
His mother's words lead Juan to expect a "beautiful view of a green plain," but instead he finds a ghost town and learns that Pedro is already dead.
Recognizing that "Rulfo was describing a world I already knew" and feeling "a very personal response, particularly to Susana San Juan and her dilemma," Josephine Sacabo used Rulfo's novel as the starting point for a series of evocative photographs she calls "The Unreachable World of Susana San Juan: Homage to Juan Rulfo."

Unfortunately, Rulfo is much, much less known outside Latin America than other writers from the region, due to the fact that he is long dead and that he was a reclusive, almost misanthrope man, a shy and timid character.
Juan Preciado returns to a town called Comala, a place his mother left when he was just a baby.
The story can jump which jumps between Juan's dealings with the residential ghosts of the town, his channeling of the non-ghost souls those departed who exist in a mental limbo, and non-linear retelling or straight narration of the past.

 Biografia de Juan Rulfo
Juan Rulfo creció en el pequeño pueblo de San Gabriel, villa rural dominada por la superstición y el culto a los muertos, y sufrió allí las duras consecuencias de las luchas cristeras en su familia más cercana (su padre fue asesinado).
En los quince cuentos que integran El llano en llamas (1953), Juan Rulfo ofreció una primera sublimación literaria, a través de una prosa sucinta y expresiva, de la realidad de los campesinos de su tierra, en relatos que trascendían la pura anécdota social.
Rulfo escribió también guiones cinematográficos como Paloma herida (1963) y otra novela corta magistral, El gallo de oro (1963).

 Rulfo, Pedro Páramo, University of Texas Press
Josephine Sacabo's photographs tell, in her words, "the story of a woman forced to take refuge in madness as a means of protecting her inner world from the ravages of the forces around her: a cruel and tyrannical patriarchy, a church that offers no redemption, the senseless violence of revolution, death itself."
Juan Rulfo (1918-1986) was one of Mexico's premier authors of the twentieth century and an important precursor of "magical realism" in Latin American writing.
Reared in Laredo, Texas, in the Mexican ranchero culture about which Juan Rulfo writes, Josephine Sacabo is a photographer who now lives and works in New Orleans.

Juan Preciado made a promise to his mother, who is dying, that he would go to her birthplace and look for his father, Pedro Paramo.
Pedro Paramo may or may not be alive; he is described by one traveler as "living bile," who "died years ago." Rulfo did not use a linear plot, but a montage of images from the living and the dead to tell a story of loss, fate, and bleakness.
