el soldado, el miliciano, el lisiado de la guerra, el vendedor ambulante, la prostituta, el ciudadano involucrado en la vorgine de la guerra civil y la violencia irracional en la sociedad, cuya tragedia no parece entender, o si la entienden, no le inyecta una esperanza cercana. Desde la poca pre-colombina, pasando por el coloniaje y sus dolorosas huellas del pasado, hasta la tragedia del presente, los personajes adquieren voz y memoria. El tema de la memoria histrica, est siempre presente, por tratarse de un debate actualizado en El Salvador y en la mayora de pases latinoamericanos. Aparecen relatos sobre las demencias de personajes que identifican pueblos y ciudades, de la que todo habitante latinoamericano guarda algn recuerdo, y la explosin del trabajo informal, que suele llegar a la estafa, como forma de sobrevivencia. Rufina Amaya ha muerto, Viva Rufina Amaya! Es un relato de un amigo del autor (Lobo Pardo) que ha sido incluido como una reflexin testimonial, cuando ocurri la muerte de la nica sobreviviente y testigo de la masacre de El Mozote (Diciembre de 1981). Algunos versos intentan dar esperanza y comprensin de lo que ahora son los salvadoreos, que bien podra ser la esperanza que aguarda otro centroamericano, colombiano, mejicano, peruano, dominicano, puertorriqueo, cubano etc, sobre lo que deseara de su pas.

Los mitos no están durmiendo; acechan.¿Crees que los ahogó el estruendo de la ciudad, que sus voces se perdieron en la indiferencia del neón y el apuro de los mortales? Te equivocas. Son un susurro en la memoria de la sangre: un eco que sobrevive en las grietas del asfalto.En estas once historias, lo antiguo se derrama como un veneno dulce en la modernidad. Aqui el folclore Chileno no es un cuento de abuelos, es una advertencia. Descubriras que hay pactos olvidados que aun sangran y que los males eternos no necesitan invitacion para sentarse a tu mesa.Cada cuento es una puerta. Te invito, a girar el pomo, a mirar a traves de la cerradura. Pero te lo advierto: una vez que la abres, la historia no solo muerde a veces devora.
