Listened phrases, captive images, indecisive memories, crucial encounters make up this sort of intimate literary journal in which Griselda Gambaro intermittently turns passions, repudios or sleeplessness of life. They are written that of innocents only have the title. They give an account of a landscape of their own in a country without definite direction and of mixed origins. The itinerary is varied and radiant because of the personal nature of the route.The cinema of Pasolini, the love for theater comedians, a quote by Djuna Barnes or Enrique Santos Discépolo, by Jorge Luis Borges or José Saramago lead to the privileged place where literature resembles life. Like a whisper or a confession, the author lets fall on the pages those words that she kept for years and that she now decides to share with the reader.'I slow to think. Yes, I would have liked a quick thought and not this way that I had luck, slow journeys, working by additions, rectifications, doubts. Sometimes I end today what I started thinking twenty years before. And I never know if tomorrow, with the house finished, ready to live, I will not open holes in its walls' to the habit of doubt 'to break the conceit and the serenity of safety.' Innocent writings is the precious book that every great writer keeps in a drawer with the hope of sharing the secret of his days. This is what Griselda Gambaro does, with delicate audacity and fervent expression.
