Congrains Martin. 999 words for the planet Earth. HuaitaPuquio editions. Lima, 2008. 446 pp.

If, The storyteller Enrique Congrains boasts a special creative force, to weave a story set in 2075, with 999 words for the planet Earth this author, from the quarries of realism "radical" in the 1950's, demonstrates that theirs is not the unconditional subordination to a fictional pattern of "higher status" or "widely recognized" but the critical confrontation of the very essence of aesthetic recreation of reality that allows literary exercise, from a knowledge of what man is, and what it does, dream, imagine, transform and transgress. Congrains has returned to the arena to disturb literary critics who serves without much merit or value "attacked"; to disturb those who attempt to make a narrative scene to measure, to spite the champions of realism, and, finally, to alienate those who consider artistic fiction is a concept proposed to deepen divides, excluding those here to promote or catapult of yon.

But before developing some core issues, it is appropriate to have some idea of \u200b\u200bwhat is 999 words planet Earth, ie, its particular plot in Peru and regional literary scene.

In the not too distant, near the Nazca Lines, landing a spacecraft-known as editor-ship from a planet that is not in our galaxy, the Milky Way. The first guy that comes in contact with the Ship Editor is a rural school teacher Huaita Quincho Toribio. The contact is soon revealed and the Ship Editor invites all nations on earth to write an article of 999 words about mankind and choose three images representing humanity. Text and photos appear in an upcoming edition of the Great Encyclopedia Intergalactic , volume in which they appear all intelligent species visited by the Ship Editor. It is a difficult challenge, please note that so far this text presents little more than 333 words, or about a third of what to write on Earth the drafters selected by UNESCO, from a lobby among the permanent members of the Security Council of UN-China, France, Russian Federation, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States ... and there is still much to say 999 words to the planet Earth .

The novel presents the dialogues that hold monthly five Latin American countries of Costa Rica-United States, Colombia, Venezuela and Mexico for twelve meetings, the May 5, 2015 to April 5, 2016 - Host Home "tico" near San Jose.
referred
These sessions are the narrative function of these subjects call -At each meeting most endearing and cohesive, despite their differences and personalities, to exchange information at an early stage, especially as regards the formation of a team of editors who are responsible for preparing the article of 999 words and selecting the three images, and in a second phase-that is, once formed the task force operating in the UNESCO headquarters in Paris to speculate, based on its findings in high places in which they move, about the themes covered in the article for the Great Encyclopedia Intergalactic .

Congrains hits in all scenarios assume imaginable thanks to a very good design of the partners, apart from the host Costa Rica, which is dedicated to coffee, there is a Mexican lawyer, former ambassador of his country in Washington, a Venezuelan sociologist, an Ecuadorian-American neurosurgeon, and a Colombian worship and astute investor. These characters, whose parliaments have no dimension, expressed academically, although with certain nuances, as the level drops suddenly to the irony for the neighborhood, the family address, to gossip or naughtiness hairdressing salon, to resume flight a journalistic approach that avoids jargon or the highest degree of specialized discourse. According to the narrator hinge: "if something were common to all five to be American was informed, cosmopolitan, with miles and miles of good readings, and endowed with vast curiosity to critically investigate the affairs of mankind."

With 999 words for the planet Earth , Congrains shown, in terms of shape, like a true conservative, and leaves-without-leave or forget their main thematic concerns: the role of women and migration. Given this distance, including his fictional universe two issues that underlie the sharper reflections and emblematic 999 words planet Earth: the critique of Eurocentrism and claim of self-education.

is more relevant than the decrease in the Ship Editor occur near the Nazca Lines. This has several interesting corners. First, even enigmatic character in the national imagination, despite the findings of various scientific research, this set of geoglyphs that can only be appreciated in its large dimension from the sky. The message contains the Nazca Lines to whom it may concern?, What the gods or aliens? This scenario gives 999 words for the planet Earth very disturbing effect, as the answer to the meaning of the Nazca Lines not is explicit in the novel, it is rather a conclusion of every reader. Second, for the attention that comes to a country like Peru to the international community. In the novel, it is clear the historical and cultural greatness of the country that is built around the Nazca Lines. From the landing of the Ship Editor, the world revolves around this third world country. And thirdly, we pay homage to the author of siren. In fact, Congrains not only dedicates his recent book Gregorio Martinez, but exalts the spirit of this, locating the spacecraft descent Editora near Nazca Lines and brushing the character Toribio Huaita Quincho with certain characteristics admired the "Goyo". The Ship Editor not pose over the United States, Canada, Australia or Europe is not a mere whim Congrains nationalist. The choice of the desert of Ica, as can be seen, obey both for historical and socio-political and literary. All this emphasis

geopolitical as represented by the Peru-Ica-stage and especially Latin American fruit, without a doubt the author's travel to different countries in this part of the world, personified by the partners who meet religiously every month house-Costa Rican host, is used by Congrains to pose a severe criticism the desire to establish a worldview, which involves a "Universal History" - from the perspective of Europe. This critique of Eurocentrism Congrains develops in different environments and levels.

Eurocentric narrative consciousness arises across in many of the discussions between the American partners in the direct comments of the drafters of article of 999 words and point of view-editorial journalism that leads to much of sub-chapters of the novel, as with the newspaper quoted Czech Happenings Prague: "It is legitimate to understand the history of human being as a permanent expansion of their horizons: a Tierra plana y circunscrita a Europa, Asia y África se pasó a un verdadero descubrimiento de que nuestro hogar era una esfera terráquea».

Por otro lado, Congrains ensalza reiteradamente el aporte intelectual no académico, en estado puro —no contaminado por un sentido de competencia egoísta y avasallador—, es decir, el que se genera y promueve en grupos ajenos al quehacer del negocio de la enseñanza universitaria. Además, estamos obviamente ante una filuda y ácida crítica: la evidente inutilidad de una entidad como la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura, o sea, la Unesco, y del mundo académico formal, caracterizado por su doble moral. The panel that sits in the heart of the Unesco in Paris to meet with the commission "world" of writing the article of 999 words is clearly a metaphor for the failure of the academic bureaucracy and the great minds formed in campuses, to solve the main problems affecting humanity.

Congrains In this novel, both the critique of Eurocentrism as a claim of self-education are political statements, no doubt, but do not fall in the gross social protest pamphlet obvious or demagogic advocacy of a "new order", as what it is literature, namely: the art of leading a reflection through the reading experience of knowing a real or imaginary city, a country near or far, a world (ours or otherwise), or the universe itself, in its continuous creation-destruction-expansion from our limited human capacity, personnel, to understand such a vast, tremendous prodigy. Enrique Congrains writers have the power and virtuosity with passion narrative to offer this complex scenario is 999 words planet Earth, and miss it, once we have finished reading.

Agustín José Cabrera and Prado, directors. Garlic & Sapphires. Literary magazine. No. 8 / 9. Lima, 2008. 302 pp.

difficult to present the number 8 / 9 of Garlic & Sapphires with justice, that is, giving a cada parte la atención que le corresponde. No cabe duda que estamos bajo la tiranía del tiempo y del espacio. De modo que, a partir de un criterio plenamente subjetivo, que tiene que ver, en estricto, con mi gusto e intereses personales, he decidido —todo un dictadorzuelo— detenerme en algunas secciones, a fin de hablar más sobre pocas cosas que decir casi nada sobre todo lo que propone la edición doble de la revista de literatura dirigida por José Cabrera y Agustín Prado. No en vano la sabiduría popular nos previene al respeto con aquello de quien mucho abarca, poco aprieta… Así que nada de extensas enumeraciones ligadas a una magra frase explicativa solo por cumplir.

Tras consultar el índice the recent edition of Garlic & Sapphires , came to the fore the narrative of the section 'Choirs of the Stone ", or collaborations, this time, Ricardo Sumalavia, Johnny Zevallos, Enrique Prochazka and Daniel Soria.

"patient" is the title of Sumalavia story, a story told with narrative ease, which excels by a dosed management expectations, as the concept of intrigue not meet the family swings that often project the particular author's realism . The biggest merit of "patients" is its semantic richness, primarily the result of a direct style, without much overlapping or rhetorical zigzags, but qualified by lengthy descriptions subordinate facts and reflections. The author manages to touch the reader's innermost about the domestic adventures of a mature couple preparing to crown his fatherhood with the arrival of a grandchild, placing it in an extreme situation particularly intense, but within the limits of what daily. Impossible to ignore the metaphor ribeyrana the move or, rather, silenced by the routine of bourgeois and intellectual stagnation.

Zevallos, with "The Second Kingdom" gives us the marvelous demystification and fall of a ruler who fed his ego to subdue his subjects cruelly. This text is linked to power divine reaches its climax voyeur-observe without being noticed-mortification and death of the alleged perpetrators whose sin is to doubt the faith embodied and for that disbelief, to subvert. Zevallos using a changing voice to delve into the difference between divine and human, and achieve thereby a distance to appreciate the best player in the whole scene (for instance, stubbornly maintaining a dysfunctional environment, a reality dissociated). From a speech ornate and, at times, of rarefied diaphanous, "The Second Kingdom" is a dark metaphor for how he comes to pervert the power, of how, if necessary, drop the mask of God and is shattered to be restored in the face a new carrier.

"Smisek in the house looked" of Prochazka-outside reading "imaginary houses. Temples of Peruvian art narrative "Fajardo Calderon posted on the blog Porta9 , generating comments twenty-two exegetical and replicas of prominent bloggers - is a delicious proposed that in addition to challenge our imagination, we invited readers to be creative, playful and witty. The counterpoint, or the "boss counterpoint" to use a figure of José Miguel Oviedo-is offered as a curvy continuity. The approach is interesting a couple Adamic as exposing their paradise prison, and the risk assumed Prochazka narrative in this story, in which the architecture of speech and language materials and the use of this-are more important than the house itself and characters: a detailed description of environments and erotic episodes that shaped a cry of pain and pleasure, caused either by a ribadoquín as symbolizing the male member. Prochazka metaliterary uses the reference to Citizen Kane to intensify the monumental maze of the stage and outline the eccentricity of the guardian god.

The fourth story, set in the country of childhood, returns us to the everyday realism Sumalavia and family. With 'Psychology', Soria build a teaching proposal that promises to surprise, but without it, which means a strange surprise. Moreover, a whiff of moral, on the top of this story, more than amazing, restless. The author fray fear of a child to the idea that you can not see a risk of disappearing. This idea of \u200b\u200balmost every child, the magic behind the world of children, is a real torture for Rosita, the character of the story. A psychologist will help the little star to face their fears and overcome their anxieties. Soria sober prose becomes more enhanced at times with rhythmic coldness showing the inner world for girls, particularly when tests your ability and resources as being competitive.

pages later, in "Ghosts of Paper ', which presents research" A night of madness (1869): A brief reference to the beginnings of fantasy and horror in Peru "by Elton Vasquez Honors . As advertised and noticed in the title the author of this article, this is the text that founded a little examined aspect of the Peruvian literary tradition, but also to a lamentable evidence: little interest in reversing this situation. Thus, compared to the carelessness, the contribution is doubly Vásquez Honors plausible because it is an academic proposal that offers suggestive approaches, in addition to providing a transcript of the story neat "A night of madness" - and by the interest that would generate this kind of work among literary scholars, critics and young researchers vocation to analyze in depth the literary history of Peru. Honors

Vásquez, after bringing the text at a particular juncture of literature and journalism, attributes the authorship of "A night of madness" with Francisco Ibáñez. The arguments are compelling but Vásquez Honors objectionable, because there is no absolute certainty that the author of the book Tales of my land (1864) it is also the story published in El Nacional under the pseudonym H. Feydeau in 1869. What is important is to have offered a foundational text clearly, regardless of who was actually H. Feydeau, and have stimulating and detailed information of the time to fully appreciate "A night of madness' cause text to get in the mind of the reader the emotional boost that usually labeled with the name of fear of the" evidence "of terrible and frightening, that is distressing experience some disturbance by an actual or invented.

In "Books Galleon" Garlic last section & Sapphires , the reader will find sixteen whose reading literature reviews allows better contact, as entertainment, understanding and appreciation, and academic studies and works of fiction. The book review section in the magazines filled the void that the growing journalistic banality has been careful to cultivate as efficiently. Moreover, the tendency to attack free sour bearing subjects without training or talent, that act of literary critics in local papers, is a symptom of the rampant "magalización" which is suffering the national literary world, where blogs argolleros hide the sun with your finger and refuse blogs stand as the greatest exponents of the smelliest turpitude.

This leads us to reflect on what should be the purpose of literary criticism, and what better setting than that offered by the contributors 'Galleon Books' Christian Bernal, Alberto Valdivia, Erika Rodriguez, Milagros Lazo, Marie Jammot, Jose Cabrera, Victor Quiroz, Irene Cabrejos, Claudia Arteaga, Lizbeth Talledo, Moises Sanchez, Jessica Rodriguez and Alan Silva.

would be tedious to enumerate the sixteen two separate works and authors, so I only mention Jammot Marie's comment on the poems Greece Cáceres In Praise of meat (Massachusetts, Asaltoalcielo publishers, 2005). I choose this delivery, which could be defined as a test poeticized about motherhood, for the simple reason that Caceres has had her fourth child just under two months, which emphasizes the "updated" poetic sense-bodied In arms meat-and I set aside my other works of interest such as The Blue Hour Alonso Cueto, El Paso Miguel Ildefonso Look at me when you love Fernando Iwasaki. And that comment Jammot critical review, I will quote a few lines of this on the poetry book Cáceres: "... the poet plays with polysemy offered female face, shuffles both trivial and idealized images simultaneously abstract and concrete (...) The symbolic locus of eroticism and desire is destroyed," forced "by birth. Parturient mother then becomes the metaphor of a besieged city whose culture, language and religion are threatened. The birth itself becomes an avatar of dialectic culture / barbarism ... "It is important how this collection Jammot part in the literary production of Cáceres, who besides being a poet is a novelist:" ... it is not surprising that this latter orientation intimate [Sunset novel, not yet published in English] leading to a collection of poems, true exploration of the mysteries of motherhood and maturity. "

On the other hand, it is appropriate to recognize the series of images and the Image Project likeness made, as stated in the colophon, illustration, Angel Valdez and Carlos Lamas, in ink and wash on paper A4 Kimberly. The internal armed conflict that began in 1980 and putting the country on the edge of an abyss, is analyzed as a theme and literary register in more than a third of the magazine. This absurd and very painful bleeding is represented in twenty illustrations that combine traditional Judeo-Christian view of the plagues that struck Egypt for the liberation of the people of Israel with the didactic tone and surreptitiously claim that employed iconogáfica Guaman Poma de Ayala in his New chronicle and good government . This speech chart executed by the Image and Likeness power the texts referring to the conflict and even the sections that deal with other topics and issues, which reflects what also happens in reality: our peace is on, it's almost a figment of a sector of the country, as violence emerges, persists and is left forgotten.

In conclusion, I point to the journal title-tag aesthetically embodies its editorial mission. Indeed, Garlic & Sapphires in its edition 8 / 9 states the purpose of presenting content from A to Z, symbolized by an object of doubt and exquisite acceptance, almost an oxymoron, as the other, that could generate an inordinate ambition to the desire of possession. And that is precisely the experience of literature, in going from A to Z, by good language skills, to approach the complex human reality and delve into what is hidden, from the exquisite to vulgar and the most precious and useless. The secret is, as illustrated by this year's Garlic & Sapphires , to find the connector between an appropriate place to another. In the case of the name of this publication, it is the sign 'et', which has the magic to unite two opposites or entities outside core graphics and fascinating. On this particular sign, Adrian Frutiger, in his book Signs, symbols, signs, signals , states that it is not a letter or a punctuation mark. "It is a conceptual figure derived from the common external Latin conjunction et [y], whose use dates back many centuries and remains in force."

Carlos Calderón Fajardo. Beaches. Underwood Collection. Lima, 2008. 24 pp. Alfredo

Beaches In the booklet -seventh issue of the Library who runs Ricardo Sumalavia Underwood, from Bordeaux, with the support of millions Mateo, Joel Anicama, Antonio Tuya, Julio del Valle and Star War, in Lima, the author, Carlos Calderón Fajardo, shows the full status of the narrator that explores its wide and smooth continuity mind-world and patented its experienced operator position that makes perfect use of poetic freedom aesthetic prerogative not to re-widespread fluently from their trained ability to observe, think and go beyond ordinary mortals. And it is clear in this leaflet, how Calderón Fajardo established literary brands, and offers with the intention of asserting its position as a writer and performance transversal, en el espacio geográfico de la costa peruana —la playa y el sol en su singularidad literaria—, y de autor suspicaz, ingenioso e inventivo, que respeta la realidad al grado de no hacer un estudio sociológico, no obstante su interés profesional de explicar científica y objetivamente lo que rodea al individuo —y cómo este transforma aquello— o reflexionar denotativamente sobre la estructura y funcionamiento de alguna sociedad humana.

Narradas con un estilo seco y directo —y tramadas desde la metáfora del mar y el símbolo de la arena—, las dos historias de Playas —«Playa Ballena» y «Punta Negra», en ese orden— son una reflections on life to old age and death as a backdrop. In these scenarios, the time-course and perception about as intimate and personal experience-is the spirit that links the body of facts about color, texture and temperature.

In "Whale Beach" Calderón Fajardo challenges the reader with some insistence. And he also raised some caveats. No vacuum is an invitation to jump into a bottomless pit. On the contrary, it has to witness the resolution of an injunction, except to witness a clash between two co-letters, two writers forged light-and dark-the great José Donoso. Plausible, though uncertain, this story has a special charm to involve the hypocritical and voyeuristic reader from the first sentence, to propose the parallel lives of two young Chilean writers, intimate in Paris in the 1960, disciples of the author of The Obscene Bird of Night . As in, as always in greater or lesser degree, and as you know Calderón Fajardo, "the high ideals that unite people in a time and place-coordinates of complicity pristine-lost, suddenly, in the light of change involving the flow of time and convenience and interests of the market (although this was editorial), intensity and strength. The great ideals fade, begin to lose their light and tone, to be a good memory, in contrast to what one might get when you reach the fame or has a low profile when it succeeds or is created from the suffering, when you get the recognition or ninguneo persists as a second skin.

Whale Beach, the place that gives its name to the first story is the sort of place that invented "more abstract dream for the invention, the space of a narrative architecture that plays with the depths of truth and the windings of the imagination. There are "consistent" three literary stories, aptly geared to enhance the explanation of the mysterious, enigmatic and incomprehensible: the very existence of the place as an epiphany or, rather, answer a crucial question and painfully short. According to a legend that evokes the hero, the prototype of the great white whale in Herman Melville stranded there, flux history breathes life the ghost of the legendary whale from the waters of the South Pacific, to revive a more nineteenth-century histories fascinating.

Thus, through the use metaliterary, but not muddy, but to obtain a higher brightness of the already bright, that is, without falling into the habit of embedding the information learned just to meet or impress, Calderón Fajardo, on the Otherwise, orchestrates a complex and nuanced context for philosophical explanation with unusual simplicity of the greatest concerns of humanity. Obtained sharp lesson, if the star of "Whale Beach" through the contemplation of a phenomenon as rare as a green flash: the heat and glare of life itself, as sigh of beauty, on the afternoon of existence, refracted from a great body - do the whole of humanity? - on rampant corruption.

In "Whale Beach" the author leads us to the cliffs of faith, but the most difficult to achieve, that is, forged in the earthly plane, away from the dictates of superstition or fear to anger divine, given between individuals, to provide a strictly literary reading of what is friendship and how far this personal affection, pure and disinterested, shared with another person who is born and is strengthened by the deal.

From other side, "black spots" digs in the same style of "Playa Ballena" direct-dry and mostly-but the underlying pace of a story that is stretched and adjusted to an outcome which, while not is surprising so impressed by the workmanship and for its forcefulness. We are facing the loss and grief that this implies, as Calderón Fajardo. To death in a devastating and raw version, which does not fall into the vulgar or sliding in the sense Output obvious or vulgar.

As in "Whale Beach", the author uses metaliterary resources strategy, and from the first sentence, by quoting the Israeli Amos Oz, which is gaining a wider sense as it is repeated with variations to the point of the story. The cyclical appearance of "black spots" is just that: appearance, front view, draw, because the text states that it is a memory linearity tidal ebb and flow remembrance, recall and fro, and, as such, gives space reflective counterpoint lost youth and old age ever closer to the subject to the imminence of death.

Mourning is an outward sign of sentence in costumes, ornaments and other objects, by the death of a person. The duel-the Latin word dolus (pain) - is fundamentally pity or sorrow, and holds a second meaning as a whole shows that are made to express the sentiment that is someone's death. Regarding the first term, it is clear that the English Language Dictionary refers to the color of mourning in Western populations is black, detail appropriate to re-read the name of the famous seaside resort south of Lima-Punta Negra "and notice the ominous look and pain of this name. But this beach, Punta Negra, is just as it can be assumed, the tip of the iceberg. Calderón Fajardo descriptive uses just a few strokes to emphasize the mystery of what is not exposed to the view of the reader-viewer, which hides the sea as a natural material, ancient literary metaphor and symbol, "The wave, after reaching the shore , returns and underground joins forces with the next wave is coming. Mixed flows are unpredictable at high tide. " [Emphasis added.] This explanation, placed in the center of the text and a key moment in the development of history serves to decode the above narrated, to assume the following paragraphs from the perspective of the announced ground force. Thus, sea and text, rather than equal, are a continuum in the minds of Calderón Fajardo.

As can be inferred, the story "black spots" obliges us to establish certain semantic subtleties. Just as there is a slight difference between glimpse and glimpse the unseen, in the context of the distinction between grief and sorrow over "the waters cover the sea" (sentence starters) and "the sea under the sea" (punchline) , we discover, after following the process of taking the loss of a loved one, the alpha and omega of a snake undulates with some linearity, rather than biting the tail as the ouroboros-famous landmark of the ancient serpent, which expresses the unity of all things, which never disappear but change form in an eternal cycle of destruction and new creation ", despite the connotation cyclical waves and rip currents that pervades the text.

The sea, after all, images of death and memory contained in the hands of Calderón Fajardo, is a place that invents as he enjoys or is feared or it looks. And -austere beaches, coastal and therefore is an accurate title, double vision with talent and intelligence offered to remind us that literature can make better people to the readers to the adversities of life, but not necessarily those cultivate. Really sharp Calderón Fajardo reproached doubt about and others from his well-deserved and prominent bank, his throne as king of the beach.
