The Bride of Corinth


The Bride of Corinth (Altazor, 2010) is surely one of the novels strangest of recent Peruvian literature. Its author, sociologist and writer Carlos Calderón Fajardo (Juliaca, 1946), recounts in the book the love story of the most unusual couple: she is both a reincarnation of Sarah Ellen (the woman " Vampire ", which was expected mass resurrection in 1987), a leader of a subversive political party of the legendary Lilith, for his part, he is a" double "Ismael Gonzales (the leader of that party) while the personification of his political doctrine (the "thought Gonzales").

Equally strange are the narrated events, the couple has meetings unrealistic utopian places, whose names refer to classical Greece (Tripoli, Corinth) and the Western literary tradition in general). And in those meetings both characters and the omniscient narrator are expressed in the most contrived, "In the bag kept an old photo of him, now the only mirror that allowed him to measure elapsed time. The photograph pictured on the inside jacket pocket when he saw her ... twitched. "

Calderón Fajardo is a cult author, those who are faithful followers and admirers inside the circle of writers and intellectuals, especially for the quality of his prose and reflections, but these virtues come here a few pages. In short, The Bride of Corinth is a bold and original novel, though less in the narrative works of Calderón Fajardo.
