Description

Esta antología reúne veintiuna miradas, sentires y voces de mujeres que tienen el centro de América como su patria cultural.

Las narradoras seleccionadas en esta antología no son las clásicas escritoras de la región, de quienes seguramente son herederas, pero su visión de la realidad, del arte y de la escritura enriquece y actualiza el panorama de la literatura centroamericana. Sus relatos evidencian la complejidad del panorama social, económico, político y cultural del istmo, así como su original habilidad estética. Mujeres todas con la intuición de apegarse a sus sueños, porque saben que de ellos nacen los motivos necesarios para seguir haciéndole la crónica a la vida. Ellas comparten, día con día, la intensidad, la agudeza y el asombro de la indagación en la condición humana.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A collection of twenty-one works by women with roots at the very center of the Americas.

The contributors selected for this anthology are not the region’s classic authors, although they are undoubtedly influenced by their legacy, as their visions of reality, art, and the act of writing, expand and enrich the scope of Central American literature. Their voices reveal the complexity of the region’s social, economic and cultural panorama, as well as its aesthetic originality. These are women determined to follow their dreams as the motivation to continue creating the chronicle of their lives.  Collectively, their writings convey the intensity and surprise that come from exploring the human condition.
