Two writers talk about their recent work with Elisa Guerra. In her latest book, El miedo, María Hesse considers her own fears: those that have accompanied her throughout her life and the same ones that she shares with so many other women. Through a highly visual and allegorical language, her pages bring to life anxiety, manipulation, precariousness, change, loneliness, madness, maternity, aging and death. The Cartagena writer, Cindy Herrera, is an audiovisual media producer who, having studied Linguistics and Literature and a Master’s in Creative Writing, is in the final stages of her doctorate in Latin American literature. She is the author of the short story book El manifiesto del espejo and the book of hybrid narratives Des-entierro. This book is a form of resigned fascination with death as an episode, a long moment to be reflected on.
