Most Powerful Desktop Ever 2010

Eloy Jáuregui (Lima, 1955) is a popular and controversial journalist, his articles are collected in the book You are guilty (2004) - speech pathologist Lima and popular culture. However, it began as an enthusiastic young poet, a member of the second generation of the group Zero Hour. His poems included in various compilations, but these days has just published his first book: Deep hair. Or broken string guitar (Hinge, 2010).

texts gathered here have been posted at different times using different poetic and using different registers of language. In the first section ("Chest tip"), recreates the discourse of the chroniclers of the sixteenth century, to offer an ironic and critical version of the conquest of Peru. In another, the poet has episodes of his life, but in light of his reading and favorite works, with a true display of quotations, neologisms and adjectives always accurate.

Other poetry and themes in Deep hair, and they all proved to be an author Jáuregui efficient with a broad and careful vocabulary of sound and rhythm of his verses, features more typical of cultic poetry that vitalism Zero Hour. Despite his obvious achievements, these poems are always some epigonal character, perhaps because they are proposals that others have developed fully and take greater risks.

solar plexus

Oswaldo Chanover (Arequipa, 1954) is the author of one book of poetry paradigmatic of the 80 Peruvian, The hero and his relationship with heroin (1983), which shared many of the poetic options from the previous decade, but putting much more emphasis on irony and parody. These same elements can be found in the solar plexus (Coven, 2010), his sixth and latest book of poems.

From the book's title, taken from the anatomical nomenclature, these 33 poems are presented as consistent scientific discourse (on the laws of evolution, the big bang , operation Brain, etc.) but are slowly stumbling and falling on several contradictions, which the poet presents in words or verses enclosed in parentheses. Thus, the brackets are multiplied to provide a second speech parallel. Much of the poetic effect is precisely the jumps between these two "records."

The ruptures and breaks dynamic contributes ironic use of references from the most prestigious culture-eg the poems entitled "The dice (eternal)" or "Cursed Cavafy! - Or the most popular and media: rock, film , colloquial language. Although in this respect as in others, solar plexus is less successful than the first books of poems by Chanover, is nevertheless a valuable book, which shows an author coming to full maturity.

Karaoke

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.

So close to life in exile

Santiago Roncagliolo (Lima, 1975) is usually regarded in the lists of the best American writers of today (such as recently published by Granta ), although his work so far fails to convince a large segment of criticism. His new novel, So close to life (Alfaguara, 2010), larger and more ambitious than the previous three is an original mix of thriller and science fiction.

The story told is that of Max, a logistics expert who travels to Tokyo to a convention of the Gemini Corporation. Max there, as the protagonist of the film Lost in Translation, it feels strange and misplaced, and almost accidentally starts a romance with a young hotel maid. Action is in the midst of discussions about artificial intelligence and robots that look like living beings (both people and animals), referring to films like Blade Runner and Artificial Intelligence.

As happened in Shame (2004) and Abril rojo (2006), again lost Roncagliolo gimmicky and irrelevant situations (Max games in the bathroom of the hotel), in references to films and audiovisual narratives, and neglect the more properly literary strength of the figures, the Working with language, the depth on important issues. So close to life is the best book of the author, but an enjoyable and interesting reading.
