Voces -30. Nueva narrativa chilena
"Las generaciones literarias son incómodas como respuestas pero inevitables como preguntas. Esta antología plantea la pregunta por una nueva generación literaria con avidez. Una pregunta que se respondió demasiado pronto, y acaso precipitadamente, en el Chile post-dictadura de los '90. Una pregunta que permanece abierta, todavía sin cuajar, respecto de los narradores que empezaron a publicar en esa década. Una pregunta que se abre nuevamente, en estos extendidos prolegómenos del siglo XXI, a través de un conjunto pujante de nuevos escritores de los cuales se quiere dar una muestra sucinta en este volumen. Desde luego no es claro que los una nada. Pero los temas del desamparo, la dificultad de establecer relaciones duraderas, la banalidad de los medios de comunicación y una cierta desconfianza en la literatura, sobre todo la pomposa y engolada, son algunos de los rasgos que parecen recorrer el conjunto de los relatos. Antes de que el tiempo de su respuesta definitiva, será el lector el encargado de elegir qué caminos le interesa recorrer, a qué autores acompañar, y por qué. Pablo Torche, escritor

Química y Nicotina
Este curioso, atrevido e inolvidable libro (¿Novela? ¿Epistolario? ¿Memoria? ¿Crónica de un romance en desarrollo?) tiene mucha química y nicotina, pero sobre todo tantos elementos inesperados que lo vuelven, por momentos, adictivo, necesario, repelente, fascinante, morboso, sensacionalista, tierno, exhibicionista, entrañable, anacrónico, limítrofe, urgente, kitsch, jugado, porno, esencial y absolutamente romántico. Esto sí que es no ficción o auto-ficción que se erotiza. No cualquiera se expone de esta manera, y ellos saben que para avanzar y perdurar necesitan narrar y transparentar su particular manera de amar (se sabe: cada pareja es un planeta y este es el planeta de ellos)...
