IN COMALA (PEDRO PARAMO)

-->
     
       In Mexico imagery is something that is in between imagination and religion. There is not separation between worlds. There is a coexistence between death and living, between angels, saints and moribund. “Pedro Paramo” by Juan Rulfo , is probably the literary work that best shows this continuity.  The narrative of “Pedro Paramo” takes place in one place: Comala, which is two places: Comala of the past is the village of the living, and Comala of the present, inhabited by the death. It is also a book about pain. Some characters already death are still sighting for the lost ones. For Rulfo the creation of this book may have obey totally natural laws, since life in Mexico is this way.

  2. Me hubiese gustado ver esta exposición en 'vivo' ... tu trabajo es fuerte e intenso! Expresa dolor...como el sufrimiento puro de las almas en pena en una dimensión que no es esta...
