Álvaro Bisama. La memoria de los restos

Narrator, essayist, literary critic, chronicler, literature professor, but above all an author who grounds his texts in a decentralized reading of literary traditions and reality, Álvaro Bisama has reorganized the remnants of culture without regard for hierarchies, introducing an element of chaos into his materials, experimentally blending science fiction and horror films, Japanese manga and the excesses of Pablo de Rokha and Carlos Droguett, poetry that shines in the consecrated spaces of literature and poetry that inhabits the ruins. In this conversation with journalist Roberto Careaga, he reviews his creative trajectory from his first novel, Caja negra (Black Box), to his latest narrative work, Oráculo (Oracle), including the construction of a personal library built on openness and freedom.
