In a State of Memory
Through flashbacks, recollections, and short narratives, this story powerfully communicates an individual's experience of exile from an emotional and psychological perspective while at the same time linking the individual experience to the collective one."--BOOK JACKET.
En estado de memoria
A causa de la dictadura militar en Argentina, Tununa Mercado vivió en México durante casi trece años, de 1974 a 1987. El testimonio que da de su experiencia en el exilio atraviesa las fronteras de lo autobiográfico y lo ficcional, de los géneros y de las formas convencionales, para mostrar "la manera en que la política se incrusta en nuestras casas, en nuestros armarios, en nuestros cuerpos", como afirma Nora de la Cruz en su introducción. En En estado de memoria Tununa Mercado hace del exilio una experiencia íntima, de emociones complejas y devastadoras, donde la voz resiste al olvido para no dejarse vencer, el cuerpo lucha por tener un lugar en el mundo y la mirada repara en las cosas mínimas para permanecer asida a la realidad. Su lectura en el presente ilumina los rincones más oscuros del desarraigo, de la pobreza y la violencia que movilizan a millones y que se han convertido en nuevas formas de opresión.

Not surprisingly, power has become an inescapable theme in Argentine women's fiction, and this collection shows how the dynamics of power capture not only the political world but also the personal one. Whether their characters are politicians and peasants, torturers...

Body of Writing
Body of Writing focuses on the traces that an author’s “body” leaves on a work of fiction. Drawing on the work of six important Spanish American writers of the twentieth century, René Prieto examines narratives that reflect—in differing yet ultimately complementary ways—the imprint of the author’s body, thereby disclosing insights about power, aggression, transgression, and eroticism. Healthy, invalid, lustful, and confined bodies—as portrayed by Julio Cortázar, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Gabriel García Márquez, Severo Sarduy, Rosario Castellanos, and Tununa Mercado—become evidence for Roland Barthes’s contention that works of fiction are “anagrams of the body.” Cla...
