"You our loving Italian" is delivering a set of short stories by writer Mario Guevara Paredes Cusco, outlined in narrative universes where the characters experience at the sight of the world states of perplexity, of absurdity, irony and paradox, but lso t of peace and of being liberated by the reactions of survival of their anti-heroes.
The difference constitutes the stories in this book is uneven, as there are some classic stories by surprise ending, while others are more experimental in terms of shapes and themes. Among the best rendition of the book is The wait is always long not . This is a story to the detective novel, which manages the tension typical crime of passion, because the pace of the action is even and the discourse progresses smoothly, giving the events slowly over us accurate or adjectives. The greatest achievement in the presentation speech on the situation of overlapping absorption almost feverish in which the protagonist is, which also helps not to advance the completion of the project. The title story refers to the issue of lengthening the time before the issue of waiting, but the whole plot seems a picture of slow dense and may involve significant moment, in short, an anti- festina lente consumed in the deaths.
Also noteworthy is the story Ever After , narrated by a female voice, which begins with a tone very compact, which will gradually loosening by the appellation of "you", very typical of the stories of Guevara. It is interesting to focus the theme of boredom in the lives falling, whose welfare is based on social prejudices. The story of the woman who kills her husband in a moment of emotional imbalance is part of an ongoing problem, which minimizes society and ultimately drives the victims of social and legal indifference to finish doing justice into their own hands. Another feature typical of the short story and Mario Guevara is presented in From the dark depths . The proposal q ue part the story is that proposed by the issuer of discourse to narrate the events occurred and not to philosophical ramblings. The profile of the victim recalls the character type of the 'horned' unexpectedly returning to the scene of infidelity and that is not aware of anything, as a matter of honor. Moreover, suicide is a subject of romance, but here is mixed with other possible variants of indifference, which gives an open character to the story, and enriches it. In You, our loving Italian a group of people - old men - reminiscent of an Italian actress during an evening at the pace of a bottle of wine. In fact, not all speak in unison, but it was understood that someone is talking - or thinking background - on behalf of all. This is peculiar by the fact that he is a little-used grammar - first person plural - in an intimate story. The text is reduced to a simple statement of episodes without concatenation around the memories of the troubles that passed a group of friends to see on film the activities of the once-famous Italian actress, if not because at the end is named the actress in the middle of a bolero musical background that speaks of the decline of romanticism, and perhaps alludes to the sad conclusion that artistic Laura Antonelli.
In general, all the stories have in common in the motor drives the actions a character - which is not always the narrator - that is part of a loving relationship, real or impossible dream or desired, accomplished or deceived. both worthless life , a drunken confession to a bartender in the window of a place where you drink and dance, as in The black woman , history lover dreams of the beloved and failing before starting the fight for her, the final play , but the surprise of her lover, her disappointment and bewilderment. While in poison girl , Introducing the item about the banality of racial criteria that are still current in many micro-Peruvian, the end is reminiscent of Alienation July Ramón Ribeyro with the difference that this time justice - or injustice , as seen - puts the sky. Two tales that border on the absurd plots are Janos the man who corrected Breton and In extremis, both reflects an ideology that hurt the lover follows his path through life casually, as to nestesiado against suffering and for all love losses.
With this book, Mario Guevara Paredes, without leaving their themes and styles characteristic of the anti-heroic actions of his characters, has entered a stage of maturation in their craft and provides some insights that shape a style his short stories from the wide range presented by the current Peruvian literature.
