Various specialists believe that literature is an inhabitable place. And in a country accustomed to fear and violence, the establishment of fiction is much more important than the actual works that it creates, because here appears the stories that satisfy our bewilderment. The narrative saves us from the progressive grievance of the truth: imagine that without it we would be an enormous country coming undone like a horror film, a work of science fiction or a black novel.
