It is not a boom; it is a wonderful discovery that has been going strong for years. We are talking about Argentine women writers, voices that discovered a vital, ..
vibrant world that encourages us to rummage in bookstores, to let us in bookstores, to let ourselves be enveloped, lulled to sleep, vibrate...; to feel surrendered, helpless before a prose, a fascinating way of narrating that traps us without possibility of escape.
To read María Gainza, Leila Guerriero, Gabriela Cabezón Cámara, Samanta Schweblin, Selva Almada or Mariana Enriquez (and they are not the only ones, we also remember Silvina Ocampo, master of the story, Alejandra Pizarnik, Belén López Peiró), is to enter a world of infinite richness, of expressions full of life, of imaginative stories, real or invented, that thrill, make us shudder, hold us in a grip, inflame the imagination, unsettle, encourage and call for reflection.
