        Síndrome Praga (Prague Syndrome)

        by Juan Pablo Bertazza

        An Argentine travels to Prague, as a way of putting some distance from his old way of life. Leaving behind his past, he arrives to this city to work as a tour guide. He believes that his new life in this old world of alchemical and transforming tradition will be surely better than the one he left behind. Enthusiastic with his brand new beginning in Prague, the protagonist of Síndrome Praga (Prague Syndrome) starts to dedicate himself to explaining a city that, however, he does not know. Soon enough, he discovers what he couldn’t have guessed:  that locals there don't want visitors; that his work was not what he thought; and that language dislocations are even more disorienting than he could have imagined, especially in relation to sentimental communication with the immediately unforgettable and fatal Katka. But none of this represents the truly particularity that this city is about to show him. Suddenly, there’s something else: four numbers begin to appear on the foreheads of some people randomly walking through the streets. And then, the revelation: those numbers show, with exactitude, the inevitable date of those people’s deaths. What to do then? Hard to say. First of all -he decides-, keeping a journal: turning to writing as a way of understanding the world around him as well as himself and his own place in this new city and reality.

        Enjambre (Swarm)

        by Joaquín Areta

        The stories of Enjambre (Swarm), Joaquín Areta's first novel, take place in a torrid, dry Neuquén, province of Argentina. Carlos, a retired engineer, takes care of his old mother; a boy from the suburbs, Bairon, waits alone, by the road, for cyclists to pass; Iñigo, a young agricultural engineer marked by his relationship with his father, must solve an invasion of aggressive bees. These stories are composed by matters that, only in appearance, are trivialities: a line of ants that persists in accompanying Carlos' elderly mother; a rectangle of black dirt at the bottom of his garden; Bairon's secret collection of stones and arrowheads; the monument in his neighborhood that commemorates the clash between the conquerors and the original inhabitants; the threatening presence of the police; the small "treasures" left behind by someone gone, which bring us echoes of the military dictatorship; the spines of the alpataco trees in the memory of Iñigo; a glass of juice filled with ice-cubes; the nauseating smell of an ambulance ... A swarm of images that orbits around bonding: between characters, between past and present, between territory and inhabitants. These stories together give shape to a particular Universe, in which the silence, the things that are not said and those which are simply implied, make the atmosphere  more and more intriguing and unsettling until we’re also reached by its sting. Joaquín Areta’s writing enables a new way of showing and saying that will imply, as well, a different way of reading and perceiving. This novel becomes intense and moving, taking on the brightness of what we cannot stop contemplating.
