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."
