Abstract
Este artículo profundiza en la relación, apenas estudiada,de Umbral con la radio, e indaga, a través del análisis de diferentes referencias presentes en su obra literaria y periodística, la concepción que el escritor tenía de este medio de comunicación.
Ya en la última etapa de su vida, entre 1999 y 2001, Umbral realiza un comentario radiofónico diario desde los micrófonos de Onda Cero que titula La orquídea. Se trata de unos textos con un intenso tono lírico que conjugan poesía y actualidad. Tienen una gran significación para comprender los procesos creativos de Umbral en esos años dadas las abundantes conexiones intertextuales que se pueden encontrar en ellos respecto al conjunto de su obra de la época, en especial con sus poemas –editados de forma póstuma en 2009-, Un ser de lejanías, Los alucinados y su columna de El Mundo Los placeres y los días.
This article deals with Umbral’s little-studied relationship with the radio, and explores, through the analysis of various references in his literary and journalistic work, the conception that the writer had of this medium. Towards the end of his life, between 1999 and 2001, Umbral gave a daily radio commentary on the Onda Cero radio station entitled La Orquidea (The Orchid), during which he presented texts with an intense lyrical tone combining poetry and topicality. They are of considerable significance in understanding Umbral’s creative processes in those years given the abundant intertextual connections that can be found in them in relation to the body of work from that time, especially with his poems —published posthumously in 2009—, Un ser de lejanías, Los alucinados and his column in El Mundo “Los placeres y los días” (“The pleasures and the days”).
