En estado de memoria

In the sixteen stories that make up En estado de memoria (In a State of Memory), Tunana Mercado recovers episodes, people, encapsulated cores and keys somewhere in memory, this set of facts, seemingly casual, sometimes dramatic, are illuminated as they are written; gradually in a compelling crescendo, words give life and meaning to radiate is the very meaning of our time. His extraordinary bill, its discoverers details, almost a pointillist opinion not only exhibited mastery and originality but a depth of thought and sentiment that make reading an occasion of pleasure and a constant revelation. The impassivity of a perceived wall through the window, the house in which Trotksy was killed, some vivid scenes in childhood, a man that is installed on a bench in the Plaza Rodriguez Pena, certain rites celebrated in the years of exile are issues, but are even more reasons for exploration, vital questions: the lost, the weather, the bewilderment, the irrational, the personal exile and alien, are rescued from oblivion to lead to a reconstruction of an identity. Tunana Mercado produces a fiction that is released from any convention of genres to get to something new and better, to literature as a life experience.
