Memoria Donde Ardia, La -Z

Let us imagine a girl who must make a journey in search of a father who drinks without excuses. Let us also imagine a mother whose pregnancy is self-absorption and emptiness after giving birth. Let us finally imagine a woman who dissolves into a memory given over to a love that will never return. Socorro Venegas is a moving, powerful, beautiful and precise voice. Her book is a continuous contraction for an agitated reader in the midst of a dislocated childhood of sick and blind children, isolated children, children who are not children. A back and forth throughout a motherhood denied from its conception, of a motherhood that is not. A journey within a memory, lost and distant, of that which was once the most desired. A heartbreaking, infinite book that tells us about the music of loneliness, the laughter of a harassed childhood or the flight of a mother who escapes leaving a crib during any night.
