| Synopsis | With great force and a very particular violence, Liliana Colanzi places the reader on the threshold of several worlds: the earthly and the fantastic, science fiction and indigenous idiosyncrasy, memory and nightmare. Making her stories mechanisms in which rural songs and testimonies of ethnographic studies operate, the Bolivian author constructs atmospheres in which there is always a longing - whether for home, childhood or even our planet - that is the product of the encounter with that which seems foreign to us, but where what is longed for contains at the same time illness and poverty, mystery and death. Thus, the magic of exoticized Latin America is replaced by the crudeness of the Colony and extractivism, by fanaticism and superstition. A woman on a colonization mission on Mars, someone waiting for her lover in a Paris hotel, a young man possessed by the murderous impulse of a Mataco Indian, are some of the characters that inhabit these stories, in which fantasy dissolves into terror and suspense. With this collection, the reader has the opportunity to witness the emergence of one of the most powerful voices from the south of the continent on the Mexican literary scene. |
