LISA SIMPSON (an unofficial biography)
By Mauricio Coronel
Lisa was born in Springfield, U. S., she lived, studied and got famous up there before she moved to Mexico. We don´t know by sure how it was but she became a great writer. This unofficial biography is about how she died. We all know is different from the rest of her family: Homer is a dull, Marge is a classical housewife; Maggy will be a punk and Bart doesn´t count. Lisa is a fantastic cartoon character, why she had a tragic end?
At age of 22 Lisa published her first novel. This book is about failure, loneliness and defeat; the subject was inspired by his own father. Immediatly became a success, sold over a million copies. Suddenly big money enter in the Simpson´s family. Homer was happy as never before, Bart thought quit the series so just hanging around. At first, Lisa was satisfied but then she got sad. She didn´t like the way things got.
Lisa was getting sad and sad; she forgot the world and started to drink. She hid herself in a dusty town in Mexico, where I met her, and wrote other books. Years after, she was found dead by an overdosis of alcohol. I was the last one to see her alive. The night before she dead we were drinking and talking about many shit. She liked tequila and mexican beers: she expected to die at any time, she was hopeful to become a human but I told her that would be a misfortune. I shouldn´t said that, she was already miserable.
If I write this biography is not just because a sense of duty. I want to tell the world that she wrote many others fantastic books. You really should read it. I was very lucky to met her, I thing she will be called the best american writer of XXI Century.
