PERCEPCIONES DE BOGOTÁ EN LA CUENTÍSTICA DE LUIS FAYAD by Cristo Rafael Figueroa Sánchez

“…El narrador bogotano se sitúa en los intersticios de las problemáticas de su ciudad para descubrir aristas desconocidas de un proceso que no siempre es evidente en los estudios sociológicos o antropológicos; de esta manera los relatos inscriben las transformaciones del espacio citadino desde que deja de ser una aldea grande hasta que se convierte en una urbe masificada, visibilizando restos de memorias colectivas, conflictos existenciales y sociales, marginamientos y pequeñas historias de vida, hasta constituir un entramado discursivo que permite leer signos y rostros de una ciudad en proceso de metamorfosis permanente.…”
