El fin de la luz y otros cuentos

Abstract

This writing, corresponding to the modality of literary creation, is divided into two fundamental parts, namely; 1. What we talk about when we talk about tales, a narrative poetics where I delve into the meaning of writing and the characteristics of tales as a literary genre; and 2. The End of Light and Other tales, a book of stories of various kinds and treatments that ventures into the subgenres of the fantastic, terror, science fiction, among others. The End of Light, for its part, is the artist's aspiration to create a piece. An initiative that, although over the years transmutes into an academic project or an editorial ambition, in its most primitive instance is the childhood dream of evoking and creating realities, possible worlds, poetic images that account for our condition in the world. In that sense, this book is nothing more than the chimera of a child who grew up listening to mythological stories, who was shaken by the stories of Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne; a child who looked at the sky (has he stopped .doing it?), dreaming of the future, of the stars, dreaming, always dreaming, even with all his deaths
