Great post @nancibriti. We will surely see a lot of exile literature by the so many Venezuelan writers who have left the country in the last years.
Even with the possibility we are getting now of putting an end to our nightmare, I'm sure it will take some time formost to return, if at all.
The nostalgia for the lost land and the lost friends, times, and memories will be ameliorated by the improved living conditions most people have found.
And, as you have pointed out, the land of our imagination is only that, an imagined community that will not match what we find after the separation.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
There is already a lot of writing, narrative, poetry and essay, which talks about the Venezuelan diaspora. There is even a post-Chávez line in our literature, which speaks precisely of all that the Bolivarian revolution has meant for our country. Hopefully we will soon get out of this red trap of a thousand years and the children will return, and the writers will write about this nightmare but already awake. It is always a pleasure to read your comments so accurately and intelligently, dear friend. Hugs.
