Niños del pájaro azul
Karina Pacheco Medrano

SHORT STORIES | 2024 | 192 pages

Set in rural areas, lush jungles, and remote villages where indigenous traditions still live on, these stories reflect how political forces—whether state-sponsored or insurgent—condition the lives of their protagonists: children who are surrounded by all kinds of violence and hardship. Through profoundly human stories, the author confronts us with the search for truth in the midst of suffering, inequality, and the fight to survive. A truth that allows the healing memory of those sentenced by injustice to emerge from oblivion. With subtle touches of magical realism and clear, poetic prose, these stories by Karina Pacheco invite us to reflect on a past that, although distant, resonates in the Latin American present in an unsettling way.
