Description
Letras de Nicaragua/ 12 Bananos es lo que hoy llamamos un testimonio, rendido en veintinueve relatos y un epílogo. La primera mitad de estos relatos contiene instancias de muerte propias de un medio ambiente saturado de implacables sorpresas. El resto del libro comprende anécdotas igualmente ilustrativas de un mundo en el que la solidaridad humana y la conciencia de clase surgen coma débil contrapeso a un orden de iniquidades. Las décadas transcurridas entre la primera edición de Bananos (1942) y la actualidad, nada merman a su valor testimonial,porque sobrevive casi intacto el modo de explotación denunciado, en Costa Rica o en otros sitios de América. Bananos pertenece a un ciclo literario centroamericano que marca un tema,el de las bananeras, sobre el cual convergieron distintos autores de Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica y Panamá durante la tercera y la cuarta décadas de este siglo. Emilio Quintana (Managua, 1908-1971 ). Periodista, narrador y poeta. Desterrado durante la dictadura de Somoza, vivió en México y Guatemala. Autor, entre otras obras, de El cielo no es azul, Agustín Rivera y Bananos (novelas); Diez bellos cuentos y Viejos y nuevos cuentos; Veinte poemas de izquierda, Senderos libertarios, Música de la vida y Ego Sum Imperator {poesía).
