It is written that the desert is text, fabric sand.
Fabric items, fabric body, fabric languages.
The desert landscape and text.
Drag wisdom, tells stories.
It labyrinth and place of purification: writing.
In these verses we find the essence of Goldemberg, shy and silent as the desert, generous with writing, faithful companion for life. Her and only she trusts completely and she opens himself without fear, without shame. The words and tells them to tell us while accompanying our silences and defeat our loneliness with the help that only they know writing and reading.

The Jewish roots lie in its distant past, the Peruvian in the more recent past and those of New York continue to dig every day to build a space. When asked what percentage feel they belong to these three identities confesses to perceive one hundred percent Peruvian newyokino hundred percent, one hundred percent jew.

The creativity of Goldemberg browsed different kinds, it never ceases to surprise us and when asked which genre feels more suited to his deepest responds with disarming simplicity: "It may seem strange but I always felt that it's not me to choose the genre in which to write. Is he chose me. The genesis of the poem, the story, the novel, of the play, takes the form of one or more images that appear suddenly and carry the inherent message of what the final product. "
Isaac, write for you is pain or pleasure?
A pleasant pain and a painful pleasure.
