July 2018Poesía dejada atrás
by Ko Un
Ko Un (Corea del Sur 1933) es uno de los poetas más celebres de nuestro tiempo. Es un habitual candidato al Premio Novel. Su vida es testimonio de que la poesía, como expresión del yo, no es sino una reivindicación de la libertad. Ingreso a un monasterio budista tras vivir los horrores de la guerra de Corea. Dejó su comunidad a inicio de los años sesenta para alejarse de la religión sistematizada y, durante las siguientes décadas, fue detenido y torturado varias ocasiones. por su oposición y rechazo al régimen militar. La poesía de Ko Un, echando mano de la dicción coloquial, va del aforismo, el epigrama y otras formas breves, al verso esnsayítico y narrativo, siempre próximos a la busqueda de la epifanía o el satori zen. Estamos ante una poesía siempre política poesía también de la consciencia de la finitud.

FictionOctober 2021Borges in Stockholm
A fiction that dismantles the bad habits of postmodernity.
by Sonia Dalton
Winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the ambition of any self-respecting writer. Especially when he risks the glory of being the first to receive it in his country. After appearing in the favorites lists for several years, it seems that César Aira's time has come to enjoy that moment and that condition. This fiction narrates the vicissitudes of the writer's journey from Buenos Aires to Stockholm, his dreamy stay in the Nordic city and his return to an Argentina where he is not expected. In the end, the 2024 Nobel Prize for Literature seems to have been awarded to the Eldense writer, with a Galician pedigree, Cesárea Areas. Through an extensive play on words, this parody tries to dismantle the remnants of postmodernity still in force in the literary and academic worlds. The key is humor, which, in order to be so, cannot fail to be corrosive. Also tenderness, because beneath the greatest ambitions the most insignificant motivations are usually to be found. It will please whoever manages to laugh, without guilt (or with it), at the most deeply rooted vices on the altars of culture and at the most recalcitrant social stereotypes. In short, whoever wants to take a walk through the nonsense, lift the cobblestones of postmodernity and peek at whatever may be underneath. A new normal?

FictionNunca serás un verdadero Gondra (You’ll never be a true Gondra)
by Borja Ortiz de Gondra
Borja works as a translator for an international organization in New York, where he lives with his partner, John. One night, he receives a phone call from his cousin, who informs him that his brother has just died and that the cousin has something to give him. Many years earlier, in the 1990s, Borja left the Basque Country and cut his ties with a family and a land that were poisoned by hatred and incomprehension. In the United States he became a different person, someone who had torn up his roots and buried his past in order to embrace a present in which he could live, freely, in another language. But one phone call can be enough to demolish the highest wall. Now, this ill-fated son of a family that has fallen on hard times finds he is the sole heir of the dilapidated mansion that looks out over the sea from its vantage point at the top of the town of Algorta. Only he can open the door and decide what to do with so many years of pain and silence. But healing the wounds is not easy and writing a book about the past may only serve to make them deeper. Ortiz de Gondra has written a perceptive exploration of identity, memory and the possibility of shaping one’s own destiny beyond any boundaries that our family and our homeland may impose on us.
