- Summary:
- "Hybrid Worlds within Unusual Realities is the fifth episode that follows a conversation with writer Giovanna Rivero. Author of numerous short stories and novels, essays, chronicles, and academic articles, among her many books written in Spanish are Tukzon, historias colaterales (2008), 98 segundos sin sombra, Para comerte mejor and more recently Tierra fresca de su tumba. "Living creatures of fiction" is Giovanna Rivero's name for what many call characters. But characters are much more than characters: not only for those who create them, but also for those who meet them through reading. Another term Giovanna uses is "incarnations," appealing to their corporeal and material dimension. The subjectivities that exist in fiction have as many bodies as there are readers who feel and embody them. Many genres flow intensely and rapidly through her novel at the same time: science fiction, detective fiction, fantasy... And of course, reality. All of them inhabit a story made up of many stories that do not follow a predictable sequence. The hybrid worlds of Tukzon are part of unusual and extraordinary realities of the world we live in. They are also the result of her first encounter with the United States, a cultural context very different from her place of origin, Bolivia..."-- provided by distributor.
