Pombero

How to find the fiction that sustains our identity or that of others? How to escape from these annihilating or necessary fictions? The idea of identity as an illusion runs through this powerful collection of short stories by Marina Closs, sometimes as a suffocating knot and sometimes as a point of support. Pombero's characters seem to recompose themselves as they speak: no one has an identity without a story, no one has a story without a voice. These same characters wander in the most mobile and fragile form of existence, which is the word itself, or get lost in a foreign world, sometimes too real, sometimes too unusual. Despite this, these traces or fictional stories remain where someone (a voice) sinks or emerges.
