Does Stress Hurt My Unborn

bloodied DIALOGUE - By Lucas B. Baby is already

Last Saturday, in the penultimate round of the 11 th Book Fair Regional Chaco and in the House of World Cultures, writers Guillermo Saccomanno, Michelangelo and Leonardo Oyola Molfino discussed the "black police." The panel was coordinated by the writer and editor Paul Black.

The room was full and cold as a cold, the climate for a dialogue of this kind: a morgue. It ran the curtain, slowly, creating a suspenseful and dramatic plastic. And there were Saccomanno, Molfino, Oyola and Black, armed to the teeth.

The talk was entitled The simple art of murder . For starters, Black pulled out a tiny notebook where he had noted their concerns (it was so tiny that, after the talk, sources consulted doubted that he could actually read something from there.) Black then fired the first question: Do you write for revenge? Saccomano said he writes "for pleasure", Oyola "revenge" and Molfino for "true affection for the death."

"A good story, a good story, illuminates a part of reality," said Saccomanno. That is their source of pleasure, literature as a partner. For his part, repeated Molfino that which "always had an affection for death ', hence perhaps the death in his novel perfect Monsters . He added that "death changes a literary plot, is an emotion that does not compare to anything, not with the birth." Instead, Oyola joked about the question, as explained in his novels is dedicated to exact revenge on those who seceded in its infancy, "such as those I left out of the football teams." Then

dialogue led to more sensitive areas. Saccomanno made it clear that political violence permeates our history, beginning with the novel Slaughterhouse , Esteban Echeverría, and continues through the decades with a tradition of institutional repression, terror and death. "Literature can not be detached from context. It is expected that our texts breathe violence. We must also look at the crime pages in the newspapers, which translate all this does not explain the business pages. One writes about the awkwardness of this violence, "Saccomanno said. And in that way, sealed it for him is the image of the writer who writes observing reality.

Finally, and returning to a question that had been floating the possibility to create a hero (a character-detective Argentina)-as in the traditional American-Molfino police quoted Borges and said, "can not create a hero with these characteristics, because this is a country that works with thieves. "
