BEINGS Contemporary Peruvian Short Stories

4.3/5 ( ratings)

The eight stories are built on realism and lived experience as an existential possibility and as a chance for progress, reinterpreting the realism identified in both Josefina Ludmer and Antonio Cornejo Polar's studies as urban picaresque. Characters move within the confines of reality, passing through their initiation, their conflicts, and cutting through the territories of nations. The narrative world generated is held hostage to a crisis of values, and serves as evidence of the need to reconsider the future, although the premonition of implicit, inevitable failure leaves no room for any kind of meaningful perspective.
The strength of this collection is in the speaking together of several generations of Peruvian storytellers. The stories in this volume demonstrate that short Peruvian fiction is a powerful art form, one that repeatedly pay homage to its own national narrative traditions.
