Book Summary of la Estrategia de Chochueca by Rita Indiana Hernandez

Rita Indiana has given a nudge to the nostalgic Caribbean lyrics. Rita Indiana explores very accurately within the dimension of the postmodern narrative. Wanda Cosme- Dialogue In the novel. The strategy of Chochueca, the city of Santo Domingo becomes the protagonist of the narrated. Rita Indiana Hernandez argues an agile and iconoclastic story in which the city simultaneously functions as a reference and fulcrum for the subjectivities that inhabit it and that articulate as such in that intimate relationship of interdependence with the urban space of the Dominican capital. The pilgrimage of the personage of Silvia by the streets of the city activates the unveiling of a stealth city integrated by subaltern identities. It is from the slippery territory of an invisible Santo Domingo, marked by narcotics, orgies, alcohol, music and misanthropy, that the subjects of the Dominican youth will deploy their 'strategy' in front of daily social life that does not provide them.

Wrapped in the goat herd festivities, we have ignored the putting into circulation of the last narrative of Rita Indiana Hernandez: "The strategy of Chochueca."

Rita puts us in front of reality that has remained hidden for the Dominican narrative: a part of the youth of the 90. At last a voice appeared, that as requested by Miguel D. Mena, departs from the subject Trujillo. We are in front of the urban narrative, in front of a narration according to our days and especially with our nights.

Let's get into the world of Strategy. We will try to see what we think Rita wants us to see.

The first thing that arises is the confrontation, in the narrator's mind, between the real and the virtual, typical confrontation of our postmodern world.

"The mangled body of the deceased and his thousand versions are appreciated me in the middle of the most carefree conversation, the real one that remained behind the circle that neighbors and pedestrians did around him ... One and the other seemed the same to me" p. 10. This confrontation is going to take place, sometimes not so explicit, throughout the narrative, as in the case of the character Tony T., stuck to his computer, peeled to caco, which gets the information "chatting with the cord ." This will begin to immerse us in the world that share the narrative and its lovers. That world where the virtual has as much or more importance than the real, but without excluding one to another.

The Strategy is a narrative written in the Dominican of the 90, in a specific sociolect, but easily accessible. This use is a simple use, and it is noticeable in the naturalness of the handling of the language by the author: rattles, crisp clothes, and so tanfundio type. This type of language has been used as an ornamental element in other Dominican narrations, is here an essential part of it, it constitutes, along with the boredom of the generation here portrayed, the thread through which Rita Indiana guides us through that underworld where Is the narrator.

Also, it makes the presence of a very personal language that could be noticed in certain expressions like papimamirichardclayderman, catacumbescas, typing with a rhythm of undotre mariposita and, etc. Just as the typical onomatopoeic presence of the Dominican language "... continues to hammer pum-pum pum on Verdi and all his infamous Traviata." "The truck jumps every five and a half meters." This onomatopoeia puts the reader in the narrative, It forces him to work with all the senses and to be an accomplice of the absurd.

Generational boredom is portrayed in different stages of the play: "It was late, and I had no more than twenty pesos, but I was seventeen and bored unbearably (p. 14). To this, is added the crushing that the city of Santo Domingo operates on. The characters this town which, at the beginning of chapter four, the narrator dreams in flames, wrapped in purifying fire, even if she wakes up before she finally fucks the thing.

There are also the false heroes, the popes who today pass the bill for yesterday "..., and has in the eyes those rare things of those who were tortured in the twelve years and now work together torturers." (Page 69) There is no ideological defect in the narrative. "I realized that everything is the same, in the end everything is a lie, we all want a Japanese cart and a pool (p. 70). It is a disappointment and a visceral boredom, lived from the inside and sharpened by an inhospitable environment that denies that segment of youth, of which the narrator is the part, some possibility of redemption. That is why small or large crimes that try to give color to a gray and boring existence, "the tumble" of horns, drugs, forgery of checks, fraudulent use of credit cards."

Those parents who have left their children, "this absurd gelatin .. after so much we want the world and we Want It, so much historical laughter, both Marx and companion for this, this prank of small beasts without idea, this mac universe in the That you or tomb to contemplate the bubbles in the screensaver or you are tomb ...

In the "Chochueca Strategy", the many talents of this writer appear, which, although very young, already occupies a space between the authors to be in sight in the next years.

Conclusion

Jose Marmol (not the popular Argentine author) is a fantastically intriguing and productive contemporary Dominican artist called "the most exceptional male illustrative of the [Generacion de los 80]" in Culture and traditions of the Dominican Republic by Isabel Zakrzewski Brown. I'm not certain if there are all the more extraordinary female delegates of this development, since she doesn't state in certainty he is the main individual from this development talked about here.

Rita Indiana Hernandez is a young author from Dominican whose first novel La estrategia de which was published when she was 25. Also, she was known as the most imperative commitment to Dominican story in 20 years. Amazing. There is an intriguing interview in English with her in his work in which she speaks regarding her poetry work as well as her 2005 novel Papi none of which I can discover more about. However, would love to. She's additionally obviously in a Dominican independent pop band Rita Indiana y Los Misterios that sounds to me like merengue/rap/reggatone with a touch of pop-synth for good measure.
