Ave y nada tiene un espacio claro y preciso: La Habana, ciertas partes de la ciudad, una zona del Malecón, otra de El Vedado. ¿El día? Un sábado. ¿La hora? La noche, durante toda esa noche del sábado hasta el amanecer del domingo. El tiempo es menos preciso, esta es una de sus complejidades, el tiempo escrito en la página, en que hay un presente y un pasado, y luego veremos que también un futuro, un futuro ilusorio: el del deseo de los personajes. El presente nuestro, el de nuestras vidas, en el cual estamos este mediodía nítido y blanco, es el más confuso de los tres segmentos en que hemos dividido el tiempo: el presente es un poco el pasado y un poco el futuro. Solo en una novela los límites del tiempo están marcados con exactitud. Los personajes cuentan con un presente, desde el cual narran su pasado.Ernesto Santana, como otros novelistas de la vanguardia, ha mezclado o conjugado estos dos tiempos; sus personajes, principalmente los hermanos protagonistas, parecen deslizarse por el tiempo, es decir, pasan del presente al pasado, mientras deambulan la ciudad, o del pasado al futuro, y aquí es donde encuentro la segunda complejidad de Ave y nada. Este deslizarse al futuro está regido por el deseo, por su irrealización y por la realización imaginaria. Lo que han querido ser y no han sido —cantante, pintora, pescador, astronauta, trapecista— irrumpe en el curso del presente de estos "locos infelices" como un hecho, con la precisión y la fuerza de los hechos.su autor.Ernesto Santana Zaldívar nació en Puerto Padre, Las Tunas, el 22 de mayo de 1958. Graduado del Instituto Superior Pedagógico en Español y Literatura. Ha publicado libros de cuentos como Nudos en el pañuelo (1993), Bestiario pánico (1995), Mariposas nocturnas (1999), y el poemario Escorpión en el mapa (1998). Ha sido incluido en varias antologías de narrativas nacionales y extranjeras

Lima, Perú: Instituto de Estudios Peruanos, 2015. Book. New. Soft cover. 1st Edition. Los noventa artículos aquí reunidos, escritos entre 1980 y 1992, exponen las reflexiones de Carlos Iván Degregori sobre la izquierda peruana en las últimas décadas del siglo XX. Desde sus columnas en diarios, así como en revistas icónicas como Zorro de Abajo, de la que fue su director, el autor revisa el desarrollo de una propuesta democrática de filo socialista que a partir de una reflexión propia pudiera hacer frente al embate de la nueva olaliberal y del conflicto armado interno que afrontó el Perú a fines del siglo pasado. Así, hay asuntos muy actuales tanto en el debate político como en el organizaciónal..

Guatemala: F&G Editores, 2017. Book. New. Soft cover. 1st Edition. Nada pesa (p = m x g) es un libro que indaga profundamente en la realidad del mundo, nuestro mundo, su temporalidad y, por lo tanto, su precariedad. Es un libro que nos muestra un ámbito marcado por la Historia, con sus violencias y sus horrores, con sus ternuras, sus esperanzas, con su absurda realidad siempre transitoria y recurrente, en la que, como lo expresa la poeta, ?todo muta, todo se renueva?. En la visión de la autora del libro, muy cercana a la expresada por el taoísmo y por el budismo, el mundo se caracteriza por su mutabilidad, por su inestabilidad. Carente de una realidad duradera, lo único que nos es dado percibir en él es un espejismo: ?Arriba el cielo y abajo el pantano / donde aquel se refleja? se nos dice en uno de los poemas. Dada esta visión del mundo la única forma que como humanos poseemos de alcanzar alguna forma de realidad, de permanencia, reside en el lenguaje, ?Por el lenguaje existimos . y nos hacemos mujeres en él?, nos dice. En este contexto, Nada pesa (p = m x g) busca afirmar nuestra realidad, una realidad humana lograda a través de la resistencia que el lenguaje poético ofrece al constante devenir tiempo. Libro de madurez poética, este libro enriquece la tradición poética guatemalteca no sólo con la claridad de sus poemas sino con la de su visión, poco común en la historia de nuestras letras. Francisco Nájera.
