Unexpected Patricio Pron left in his new novel, Pandora’s box of world place

If you want to open it like Pandora with the mythical box of the gods, not only the evils of the world escape from it, but also some good things, cures and explanations, which in its feathers turn into something that they seek in poetry.

Reading There is a smile in everything, and light enters through it (the title, which, as usual with the author, contains an argument) reminds The War Trilogy (2018) Agustín Fernández Mallo.

Due to the remarkable differences between them, both belong to the same hypnotic writing; kaleidoscopic –y fractal– structure; the search for a total work that is not expressed in words or images; concern for men and nature; mixture of tenses; y the image of New York that is reflected in its inhabitantsin its provocative landscapes, in its museums, and in the indifference of that tyranny that Pron embodied in the print of the sleepless river—taken from Hart Crane’s verse—sliding under the arches of the bridge.

At first – as the narrator says – the novel was supposed to be his biography Benjamin Fondanea symbolist poet who died in the gas chambers of Auschwitz, among those who could escape. But this hypothetical book describes only one line.

At the end of the paragraph that contains it, six short numbers of submitted comments appear successively in the footer, so that the text we finally get to is made up of these comments, written in the margin and in smaller letters at the bottom of the pages.

In order to show the completeness of reality and the impossibility of reflecting it in linear writing, in some of them other appropriately numbered sub-words appear successively, which can be found in four levels of subordination, each depending on its immediate precedent.

A profound reflection on love, morality and the role of man in a world that moves blindly and loco

From an argumentative point of view, There’s a smile in everything… if configured as a story of stories, one of which focuses on being able to compose an effigy of Fondano, leitmotif narration. References to the difficulties that come with knowing life—actually what you want—give the work the character of work in progress back to what are things that add a bizarre shape to others once in a whileas it happens during an unexpected search on the Internet.

as described There’s a smile in everything… It looks like a confused and disordered work, but nothing more than the truth and clarity of its author. Here we meet the story of the loving relationship that binds him together and which, like many of us who know it, disappear to appear.

Also, a deep reflection – in the Mayan letters – about the decline of nature, the crisis of Western democracies at the present time, and the paper of man in a world that progresses blindly and loco is about self-destruction? Included in the price a substantial meditation on a particular individual and his personal experiences: love, pain, fight, morality or heartbreak. Generic hybridity, intertextuality, and depth are asymism elements of the text that satisfy readers who do not conform to the obvious.
