Where Should My Cervix Be

NN

For us in the field of literary creation of the Central University, the abbreviation NN does not mean the soldier Numa Nigeria's ancient Roman empire, or to turn Latin "nomen nescio "(name unknown), or the English expression No Name, or the British No Name, or the fatal NN home in Nazi Germany (Decree Nacht und Nebel), used in Latin America, particularly Colombia, to refer to the missing crimes, usually of State or parastatal and later found in a clandestine grave. No. NN means for us, fortunately, Storytellers Night.

And on Monday, February 28, we begin our 11 year NN cycle with a very controversial Italian author Alessandro Baricco. More controversial for the position of their opponents than their own, as its literature, in spite of the refreshing, does not involve any controversy. He spoke of the teacher, essayist, Central University, Nancy Malaver (Photo), who spoke on the novel Silk and Juan Esteban Constain (Popayán, 1979), professor in international relations from the Universidad del Rosario, an expert in history and classical languages, leading representative group of the first Colombian writers decade of the twenty-first century, author of The Martyrs (stories, 2004), The wreck of the Empire (novel, 2007) and calcium (novel, 2010), which combines books (as they say in music) history and fiction.

For me, the novels (or the works, says Andrea Vergara to stay out of gender issues) of Baricco have a feature that detects leagues are written by someone who has full consciousness of literary language and of narrative composition, ie, music and architecture. Consciousness Baricco has quite a while because his school founded in Turin Writers and the only one who has learned there, he is. Or at least, who would have learned not to offend their students, which will appear. And run with the fortune of being intelligent, witty, resourceful, with great sensitivity, adventurous, old and young, sharp, fast and deep, but not behemoth, without noticing it at all seams. Homer, Iliad , another of his "novels" (for something must serve the deaf ears of the concept novel) is another example of what I'm trying to say. Wonderful way to not read Homer, and to leave only the Odyssey (which some chose not to replace Baricco).

this NN was fun, with Teatro de Bogotá, again, well nourished people of all facets, young and old, educated and unsuspecting readers and listeners, students and the beautiful street 22, next to the Faenza of Mexico.
