With three good novels published - Will molle (2006), do not forget our names (2009) and Blood, dust the snow (2010) - and important literary prizes (the most recent National Fiction Prize 2010 Federico Villarreal ) Karina Pacheco has already become one of Peru's most interesting writers today. Something that is fully confirmed by his first book of short stories, Alma alga (Draft, 2010).

of the extensive family sagas and historical processes of his novels, Pacheco (Ph.D. in Anthropology) passed on this occasion and synthetic symbolic myths. And the myths will reach the fantastic, so conducive to the story and here always approached with a certain poetic inspiration. When these elements are combined texts are achieved as good as "The Fiddler of the mountains," a cosmological version of The Pied Piper of Hamelin, or "Soul alga" love story tinged with Cortazarian.

There are other records in the twelve stories in this book: the intimacy of " Murder" and "Revenge", or the allegation of "Between the shadow and the sun" and "Morning in Babel." And while some texts are perhaps too "fictional" ("De the dark days, "" The Hat "), Alma algae returns to show us Pacheco as a thoughtful and effective storyteller, whether it story" atmosphere "or to recount violent and intense events.
