Antologias.jpg

Literary collaborations offer the possibility to share with others a common ground, to create and offer a collective landscape: to manifest a shared perspective on the things of the world. Particular subjects and preoccupations, the celebration of a cultural heritage, the exploration of a particular literary genre. All reasons are good reasons to create and also to be part of an anthology.

These are the collections I’ve been invited to participate in, as a poet, as an essayist, and as a story-teller.

Incurables: Relatos de dolencias y males

April 10, 2020

Los relatos de esta colección giran en torno al mundo de las enfermedades, que es también el de los achaques, las discapacidades, el dolor, los males. Hay en Incurables enfermedades físicas y del alma, imposibles de rastrear. Traumas de infancia, conflictos familiares que nos marcan para siempre. Dolencias del cuerpo y de la mente. Males propios de cierta edad. El problema de ser diferente y salirte de los patrones de la normalidad. Procedimientos quirúrgicos, tratamientos forzados. Taras de nacimiento. Amputaciones. Y también deterioros, desgastes, trastornos y singularidades que no encajan con soltura en un mismo rótulo. No falta en este volumen el mal de amores con sus desperfectos y heridas abiertas. Ni faltan las prótesis, reales o metafóricas, con que algunos aprendemos a enfrentar la vida. Si emigrar siempre produce algún tipo de herida, los veinte relatos de Incurables muestran no sólo un variado conjunto de dolencias y males recreados por un grupo de inmigrantes latinoamericanos que oscilan entre la pertenencia y el desarraigo en los Estados Unidos, sino la capacidad de la literatura para retratar la violencia simbólica, los traumas de larga duración, las heridas que no cicatrizan. Y los gestos, los silencios expresivos, las miradas esquivas que quisieran, en el fondo y en la superficie, que el mundo fuera un poco mejor. Participan: Mabel Cuesta, Carlos Vázquez Cruz, Carlos Villacorta Gonzales, Claudia Salazar Jiménez, Vera, Melanie Márquez Adams, Naida Saavedra, Liliana Colanzi, Jennifer Thorndike, Oswaldo Estrada, Ramonjo Serra, Juan Vitulli, Azucena Hernández, Mariana Graziano, Daniel Quirós, Rey Andújar, Ulises Gonzales, Sebastián Antezana, Keila Vall de la Ville, Alexis Iparraguirre.

Ni Bárbaras ni Malinches: Antología de narradoras en Estados Unidos

October 26, 2017

From Sherezade to current times, storytelling has been part of our social and cultural idiosyncrasy. Telling stories has been a way to educate and preserve collective memory. When writing these stories we tell each other, they become testament, legacy, document. Ni Bárbaras mi Malinches, Antología de Narradoras en Estados Unidos, aims to register the arrival and the day to day life of our culture and of our language in the US. Fifteen narrators invite us to a voyage of discovery through different places and situations in a society in constant change, in order to help us understand how we, as Hispanics, are able to adapt and to reinvent ourselves in the country that has welcomed us.

Nuestros más cercanos parientes. Breve antología del cuento venezolano de los últimos 25 años

December 1, 2016

In Venezuela the story occupies a unique place. It emerged at the dawn of the republic, at the end of the third decade of the nineteenth century, is usually considered the most representative genre of the country, sometimes even above poetry or any other literary manifestation.

This sample prepared by Miguel Marcotrigiano fulfills the double condition of revaluing some of the impulses of the social-Venezuelan body of the last 25 years, while at the same time evidencing the technical achievements of the story in the context of the national literature and, by extension, in the written Latin American culture.

De qué va el cuento: Antología del relato venezolano, 2000-2012

December 16, 2013

“I have a critic’s hunch that, if the authors featured here insist (I don’t see why they would falter, especially when some of them already enjoy a well-earned prestige), their names will be a part of the history of our short story in the XXI century.”

— Carlos Sandoval

Tiempos de ciudad III y IV Semana de la Nueva Narrativa Urbana

September 16, 2009

Esta colección reúne cuentos participantes en la Semana de la Nueva Narrativa Urbana también conocida como Semana de la Narrativa, organizada anualmente por Ana Teresa Torres y Héctor Torres. No creemos exagerar al afirmar que pocos países hispanoamericanos cuentan con un elenco de jóvenes que promete adelantar una obra de significación. Si estos noveles lo hacen, será porque la disciplina y el Dios del entusiasmo acompañaron al talento, ya que este último abunda en las páginas que acá se ofrecen.

VII Concurso Nacional de Cuentos SACVEN

August 17, 2009

The attentive reader of this volume will not fail to experience a certain glare after finishing its short stories. On a first impression he or she will corroborate that Venezuelan short-form narrative maintains an essential distance from criollista chronicle, following the course of an eminent domain of renewed relevance. And, on the other hand, he or she will have the inevitable sensation that the chosen authors coincide in a finished stylistic proposal at the moment of articulating their anecdotes, which gain their profiles from the rigorous guidelines of the genre. 

In this manner, the structural conception of the nine short stories gathered here (which are a product of the annual call for contributions for the SACVEN contest), tends to be conceived from the economy of resources used with a clean prose, up to the subtle working of the short stories’ times or the effective parody of literary genres, among other expressive possibilities. Likewise, all fictions have in common the city as absolute setting, giving us a glimpse —in characters that are versatile, complex, often extraordinary and elaborated in the temperance of a well-made action juncture— of audacious, suggestive themes, such as betrayal, decadence and squalor, eroticism, unforeseen deaths or extreme violence.

— Miguel Gomes
