Sus habitantes viven bajo el yugo del opresivo y despiadado régimen dictatorial que controla y dirige cada uno de sus pasos, están acostumbrados a hablar entre susurros, a recelar de los vecinos, a los continuos cortes de luz, y ya ni se asustan cuando oyen el toque de queda. En Patria, la fantasía es la única vía de escape.

TRIDENTE, EL (EBOOK)
by Diego SasturainEn El Tridente, de Diego Sasturain, la primera persona atrapa y conduce por el desfiladero de temas: el misterio, la locura, las sectas. Temas que proyectan otros: el delirio, la digresión, un secreto. Constancias del vuelo de la imaginación se convierten, gracias al autor, en ejemplos presocráticos. Todo se desprende con timidez y una rara hondura, una especie de honestidad vocal, en este relato de peripecias descansadas. A poco de ir acumulando afirmaciones, se empieza a sentir la magia. La magia la establecen la introspección y una inteligencia que se ha puesto en marcha. Una inteligencia muy atenta: no quiere deslumbrar, quiere abrirse paso, ir conociéndose de a ratos, reírse, aprender a hacer un asado. El narrador ya ha sabido pasarle la pelota al protagonista. Lo deja solo frente a la parrilla. Sabe cómo cada pedacito de tradición le juega a favor, y los descarta. Después, divirtiéndose con la circunstancia, empieza a cocinar la carne. Con esa misma perfecta vocación, con ese mismo elegante desgano, Diego Sasturain ha escrito esta novela extraordinaria.

While negotiating this tricky territory, they realize that not even those with the best intentions can be trusted.
