Entre los espacios, a world of dreams a world of realities
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This magnifecent collection of short stories is an entry to the passages of an oneiric world bound to the hardships of reality. The author through a poetic language creates an aura of fantasy which enables the reader to foresee the souls of its characters. Social commentary is expressed not through a direct invasive dialogue, but rather by evocative introspections of prose directly linked to the political and economical status of its protagonists. Psychological latitudes are re-arranged to erase all possible misconceptions of gender and social conditions, creating in this way the anomality and normality of life itself. Content in this book goes beyond the mere narration of telling a story, it sumerges the reader into a dream-like experience without disconnecting itself from a magical plot of realities that will ultimately take you to experience the universal emotions of love, death and life. Ms. Salum is with no doubt linked to the great tradition of master mexican writers like Juan Rulfo and Rosario Castellanos. What separates Ms. Salum from them is the intuition of her prose, both mysterious and transparent, luminous full of suggestions. The reader will not find in Entre los espacios (Between the Spaces)a mere narration of stories, but a bounding experience to the human soul with its happiness and with its sufferings. A standing ovation for such a remarkarble book!

I picked up this book with some interest as I grew curious after hearing Rose Mary Salum in the launching of her new magazine called "Visible Magazine". I thought "Entre los Espacios" is an excellent book containing various short stories that intertwine dreams with reality and poetic prose with fiction. These stories are about people from the streets, godesses and reflect a measureless imagination. I definitely recommend this book to everyone. This book characterizes the new literature written by Mexican women.
