talented and controversial writer, Leonardo Aguirre (Lima, 1975) has made the world of the narrators, their adventures young Lima, bohemian and literary feuds, the almost exclusive subject of his narrative. These characters were the protagonists of the tales of hunting feathered Manual (2005) and transvestite Muse (2007), as well as peculiar texts The Count of St. Germain (2008) and the latest Aguirre book: Karaoke (Maghreb, 2010).
Five independent of each other-texts, ranging from the classic tale to pure dialogue-are what are Karaoke . In all cases we find the irony, black humor, puns, scatological language, the literary allusions and recurring to the Beatlemania that have already become characteristic features of Aguirre. And they all used to bring to land a series of "institutions" literature, presentations, awards, writers cursed or inspiration.
is a long list of young writers and "not so" young people here are parodied: Beto Ortiz, Iván Thays, Mario Bellatin, César Gutiérrez, Enrique Prochazka, among others. However, Karaoke leaves the impression of a certain exhaustion theme and form. Definitely, Leonardo Aguirre should close this first phase of its work and bring their creative writing to more favorable areas.
