Literary Fiction
In State of Remembering
by Tununa Mercado
Description
Due to the military dictatorship in Argentina, Tununa Mercado lived in Mexico for almost 13 years, from 1974 to 1987. Her experience, codified as a novel that breaks the frontiers between genres, depicts the exile as an intimate situation that unravels complex and devastating emotions, where the narrative voice resists oblivion, the body fights for a place in the world and the narrator’s gaze elaborates a myriad of details in order to place itself in reality. To read this book is to illuminate the darkest faces of uprooting, poverty and violence that millions of migrants suffer each year and that have become new forms of dictatorship.
