Almost as tyrannical as the time-the historical and the personal-space usually also be a despot and prancing. A few weeks ago I published in Caretas , I practice weekly in the "snake" of literary reviewer of fiction and poetry, I was upset to comment in just 1500 characters with spaces, only three paragraphs of regular extension, the fourth edition of the literary journal Ink expressed , whose epicenter was around the fantasy and science fiction.
At that time, I wrote, entitled "All ink" and subjective statement 'literary publication delves into various routes of fantasy fiction, "the following account:
" Directed by Elton Honors, Alex and Carlos Morillo Capellino, expressed Ink offers in its recent fourth edition, apart from the interesting topics that tend to deepen the miraculous appearance publications, timely contributions that expand the national literary horizon. Undoubtedly, one of these is the dossier Joseph B. Adolph, prepared by Honors, which is preceded by four articles that examine different aspects the always captivating work of this German writer who was born and died in Peru.
"But the section called Epicenter, devoted to fantasy and science fiction, also offers acute readings of the Chilean production María Soledad Quiroga, Elena Garro Mexican, Peruvians and Felipe Buendia Clemente Palma Adolph-plus, "and many farmers Brazilian writers of fiction cyberpunk , as Fausto Fawcett and Guilherme Kujawski. These documents, which routes cool not too busy, are contributions from various quarries university.
"Apart from the section on literary-Nomad Verba," which brings more of a surprise, the front pages of ink expressed are dedicated to a variety of literary research channels and sources. Excels the exquisite work entitled "Tod Browning, a director freak" by Javier de Taboada, but it is possible to circumvent the interview Huayta and Edwin Eduardo Canazas did to Martin Lienhard, whose suggestive title 'Documents can not form hybrid tradition. "
Thanks to the kind invitation of Elton Honors, tonight I will have the opportunity to go beyond the nineteen words devoted to Nomad Verba June 3 Masks, and regret not being able to refer to all express Ink number four for no sin of illusory and elusive, because, as goes the popular saying, which covers much little squeeze. Even for practical purposes, will restrict my presentation to the prose of this section devoted to the dissemination of creative writing.
Con la estrella de lo fantástico como sur literario, los directores de Tinta expresa seleccionaron los siguientes relatos: «Brevísima crónica» de César Silva Santisteban, «Duérmete niño» de Stuart Flores Herrera, «Los pinos transparentes» de Pedro Espinoza, «Variaciones dentro del tranvía» y «Decepción» de Ricardo Sumalavia, «Un señor muy lindo con unas alas deformes» de Pablo Nicoli, «El aparato» de Carlos Calderón Fajardo, «Receta de Igor para fabricar personajes» de José Donayre, «Fotógrafo impertinente» de Carlos Meneses, «Ladridos» y «Hay myths "of Carlos Enrique Saldivar," Between decker Raul Quiroz, and "The Ringer" Gregorio Torres. That is, texts of eleven selected thirteen authors.
To begin, I will commit a gross breach of trust. "Brief review" of César Silva Santisteban is more words, fewer words, "The Virgin of the Rosary" story with which he won an honorable mention in the XV Biennial Story "Award 2008 International Cope." On labor issues, here's my indiscretion, I witnessed a great story like this was reduced to ashes by a laurel wreath fully extraliterary question: offer a free interpretation of what was, "actually fictional" Isabel Flores de Oliva, aka "Santa Rosa de Lima." Silva Santisteban has much to Lima, with a breath of tradition palmist and nineteenth-century salon gossip, life, miracles and death of that holy, from the strange relationship with his brother to his hysterical and antisocial behavior. A great story that should deserve more recognition, but that things are forgotten when a jury about the meaning and commitment of the literature. The story, which exceeds the story literally, has the virtue of making a full reconstruction of the time. Silva Santisteban makes very good use of and the finding data to build a credible and coherent story, around one of the most famous colonial Peru.
"Sleep child" Stuart Herrera Flores is more than a fantastic story, a strange tale. In its opening paragraphs the reader has the feeling that the author makes all errors to build a sustained narrative. But suddenly, with many failures related to the ABC of a narrative approach, is emerging a question then mutates very positively sure to amaze the reader. Dream written in code, the history of Flores Herrera is a narrative that is based on the description of paintings. The characters emerge and overlap. It is unclear who is who: each character is as it is his turn to be. The rest are shadows waiting for their turn. And while the sequence of paragraphs is defining and blurring some other, there is the conflict becomes drama. And the reader is the veiled clarify this very clever story, before being hit by the Great Amnesia.
In "The pines transparent" Peter Evans explores the limits of imagination from the slump that occurs between the recording and reading impossible. Touch reality that reveals the character while loses sight becomes the creative instinct of a reality and live fuller. The surprise ending of this short fiction emphasizes the playful nature of what the author suggests from the first line of text: the design of women. Beautiful metaphor for the mystery that links the experiences of writing and reading. Fascinating exercise to transcend from overcoming anything from the figure of the empty or blank page.
Much to his style, Ricardo Sumalavia gives us two pieces short of impeccable. "Variations in the tram" is expected as its title, a text in which the rewriting is a narrative that allows the departure of the story without the reader to stop, any more than necessary, in the story. Sumalavia lay hold of a dialectical structure in which the auction (the third) is to be a qualitatively new vision that goes beyond the fact narrated in the first and second parts. A brief lesson leads us to reflect on the impact of point of view for the reliability of the perception of existence. Also, short fiction "Deception" Sumalavia shows that the obvious is not necessarily obvious. Here too the point of view, not cultural, but geographically, it is essential to rethink the human being as valid subject was their area of \u200b\u200bcontrol of nature.
In "A Very cute with deformed wings," where the evocative tribute to one of the most celebrated stories of Gabriel García Márquez is practically an appointment, Paul Nicoli presents a twist on the theme the emergence of the angels in our reality. Like the rose of Coleridge, here is a trace pen or supernatural testimony allows marvel at how amazing character. However, the most fascinating track is to find the link between this story and the German film Wings of Desire Wim Wenders starring by two angels. While it is not poetic shot up to the story itself, the author manages to explore a particular style in fantasy fiction that focuses not disruptive and disturbing nature of the surprise ending.
Carlos Calderón Fajardo appears to have no limits to invent fables and imagine. "The device ', besides being a good example of the fertile imagination of Calderón Fajardo, is a record in which the author assumes several risks: Extended brief, final hilarious (almost humor television) and little poetic language. However, this author's literary ability to amass a variety of substrates and convert an absurd fact a sublime and lyrical situation deserves the highest praise. With this story so unusual in Peruvian narrative, Calderón Fajardo shows his great skills of narrator SUV, and the conflict between two characters is not often in the locations shown in the theory or the end of a story, however brief it was-must match the culmination of history (human) behind it.
"Igor recipe to make characters" Joseph Donayre is actually a fragment of an unpublished novel by this author. This novel was recently a finalist in a national competition. To this end, the fragment "Igor recipe to make characters" was eliminated, since under the competition rules, the novel would be unprecedented. When expressed Ink invited Jose Donayre to participate in the fourth edition of the journal, the author was not even remotely claim to participate in the competition (at the time the novel was a strange nebula few bytes). Although it sounds ridiculous and pathetic, the author must live with the rest of his life with the idea that counterfactual terrible if I had not deleted the fragment might have won the contest.
Rains but it pours. That's exactly what happens in "Photographer impertinent" by Carlos Meneses. In this disturbing story, Meneses delineated with great skill exceeded a world where the nightmare logic seems to govern human destinies. The story, briefly and galloping, offers us a world turned upside down, but particularly towards the end, it makes sense, with the revelation last line. What is interesting is the combination of types of fiction: it goes from a great record (where the impossible is displayed as possible without justification any) to one of science fiction (in which the technique allows successive transgressions of nature). So, everything returns to its apparent course. In a world not necessarily in order, but that does not ever know.
Carlos Enrique Saldivar offers two texts: "Bark" and "There are myths." The first, well above the second puts us in a very particular perspective: that of a dog who thinks like a human being, but what the reader is expected to speak. But for purposes of surprise, the interesting thing is what he thinks the dog. It is unclear if an improvised out of the dog or the result of a thoughtful reflection of man's best friend and "women", the fact is that the original plant is so disturbing and impressive. In "There are myths" is quite the opposite: the outcome is predictable, but not without extra-literary virtues. In any case, as a matter of contrast, enhances the brilliance and opacity of one another.
Dialogues without quotations is, in short, what happens in "between floors" of Raul Quiroz. But dialogue is structured around a mystery that can not be reached completely elucidated, giving more light on the supernatural character of this fantastic story. The author, at most, traces some coordinates to locate the reader in an apartment or other building in the dialogues that take place. And the characters, two gay couples (one gay and one lesbian) agree to Desencontro from voices-sometimes their own voices from a mirror. Strange tale that explores the complex composition of couples and their unfortunate reflection or confrontation between them.
Finally, Gregorio Torres, in "The Ringer" also delves, as did Paul Nicoli, the figure of the angel. But this, unlike other recently proposed a seemingly angelic character, if we consider the aesthetic canon that defines them. And it is precisely on this point that stops the story 'The Ringer', to outline a fraud, an impostor. However, the story turns into an end is not very surprising, revealing the character of which is held in a metaphorical phrase. Somehow, the intention of the story is to contrast the lack of faith in a supposedly Christian society. But this, overcome by a verbal figure is not simply the power of words, produces the miracle.
