Pelea de gallos narra desde diferentes voces el hogar, ese espacio que ¿construye o destruye? a las personas, aborda los vínculos familiares y sus códigos secretos, las relaciones de poder, el afecto, los silencios, la solidaridad, el abuso... Es decir, todos los horrores y maravillas que se encierran entre las cuatro paredes de una casa: el espanto y la gloria de nuestras vidas cotidianas. María Fernanda Ampuero ha reunido en su primer libro de cuentos a un buen número de seres inocentes que se corrompen, gente enferma de amor, de soledad, de pérdida personas que luchan, a su manera, contra la nítida crueldad de estar vivos y lo hace con un libro demoledor y apegado a Latinoamérica, en cuyas páginas se van desgranando elementos culturales, políticos y sociales que retratan a un continente en su complejidad, en sus radicales diferencias y semejanzas.
Cockfight narrates from different voices in the home, that space that builds or destroys. It addresses family ties and their secret codes, power relations, affection, silences, solidarity, abuse... That is, all the horrors and wonders that are enclosed within the four walls of a house. The horror and glory of our everyday lives. María Fernanda Ampuero has brought together in her first book of stories a good number of innocent beings who become corrupted, people sick with love, loneliness, loss, people who fight, in their own way, against the clear cruelty of being alive and she does so with a devastating book attached to Latin America, in whose pages cultural, political and social elements are revealed that portray a continent in its complexity, in its radical differences and similarities.
