The fly 16 years later
From here, Hansel and I thank you infinitely for your generosity and his dedication to literature and that has made us aware that we have a book that talks!
I would send you a review of "Lullaby for a house fly" in my blog
(Córdoba. Argentina, 1949. Reside years in Spain)
Lullaby for a housefly . Madrid, ONCE, 1995. Tiflos Story Award 1994.
The stories in this book are: Milled, Nereids, Aircraft, The Guardian of Dreams; ewer with swans Agadhir, Samarkand, The Dictionary secret Jasper; The word Scolopendra morsitans, Diary of a taxidermist; Song cradle for a housefly.
occasion of one of the entries in this blog (referring to the publication by the journal Insula, a number special dedicated The fantastic in Spain (1980-2010
), I received this comment (referring to the magazine) in which the writer spoke Norberto Luis Romero:
"Curious. In all the talk about fantasy literature from 80 to this part does not mention even one of the many books Norberto L. Romero. However, in interviews it is mentioned as a major grower of the genre. "lack of rigor?," Ignorance? ", the authors know. "
take this opportunity to thank these comments, I provide information about authors that I do not know or only know its name. I want to comment also that due to a disability, low vision, "I have, I find it very difficult to read paper books, so can not read much as I want. However, thanks to the curiosity that was the message I received on my blog, I discovered there was a work of Norberto Luis Romero in the catalog of audio books from the Library of ONCE, for which I am user. This is the story collection Lullaby for a housefly , awarded in addition to the 9 th Tiflos Story Award (1994), awarded by the ONCE (English National Blind Organization). I heard (too often say "I read" by force of habit) the book, and for me it was a pleasant surprise.
Romero's stories seem to me excellent, flexible and yet very elaborate and artful without being at all (something that sometimes happens when writers have less experience or occupation: they note the device), varied in theme, with humor and drama, in a great tradition of writers like Borges, Cortazar ... we have a border between reality and fantasy that is flexible, permeable, a highly cultivated literary tradition, with many references to literature itself precisely with sometimes a strong symbolism. I regret not
have known before Romero's narrative and I hope this is not the only book that you can hear it.
I then comment briefly on each of the tales included in the book. The end will link two of them (very good, the best in the collection), which are posted online.
"Milled
" text is a very fun and makes us reflect on the good and bad literature. "
Nereids. Tale of sirens, of course evil, but so seductive and powerful ... "
Aircraft is a shocking I have clear political background of the disappeared in Argentina, but may apply at any time and place of humans in situations of violence and repression, oppression, we refuse to see reality (especially when we believe that only affects other .) One of the best stories in the book. "

Certainly the idea that words can change reality is found in all religions, and that is the foundation of prayer, invocation and also magic.
