Description
Summary:In the novel The Armies, Evelio Rosero gives existence to the voice of a witness for those who have been silenced in the crossfire of the war that pervades us. Ismael Pasos, in his role as a witness, shows how the conditions and effects of war undermine the very foundation of humanity of the inhabitants of San José, a name that could identify any of our devastated towns. This story, which moves around the present of the events, makes audible the impossible cry of a dead man; and, in the climax of horror, it shows the unbearable figure of a voyeur, in which we would not want to see ourselves, since it would be worse than if I looked at myself in the mirror . En la novela Los ejércitos, Evelio Rosero hace existir la voz de un testigo, para aquellos que, en el fuego cruzado de la guerra que nos atraviesa, han quedado silenciados. Ismael Pasos, en labor de testigo, muestra cómo las condiciones y los efectos de la guerra socavan el fundamento mismo de humanidad de los habitantes de San José, nombre que designa a cualquiera de nuestros pueblos devastados. Este relato, que transcurre en el presente de los acontecimientos, hace audible el imposible grito de un muerto y, en el culmen del horror, muestra la insoportable figura de un mirón, en la que no querríamos vernos, siendo entonces peor que si me mirara al espejo .
