New Sid For Windowblinds7

A Vueltas Damn the Press

"Last Narrative English / Emerging Trends" is the title of a two-page article published in the newspaper El Mundo on Saturday March 20. What is interesting for the purposes of this blog is that these emerging trends are actual words, the story based on real facts and new science fiction.
Well, the first tendency is rather obvious if we consider that references to this "In Cold Blood" by Capote and is celebrated with joy the success of fences and "Anatomy of a moment."
But what's this about the new science fiction? It goes without saying that, whatever the device journalism, the fact that the CF (old or new) standing in an article in a journal relative importance of the dissemination of The World is a source of joy for all self-respecting geek and a sign of the times we live in a small quiet revolution , which on many occasions I have gone on record on this blog and not mine is a mental straw as other voices and learned much more respectable than mine have reached similar conclusions (in this regard the controversies that are periodically shaken Prospective Literature significant).
The problem is that the article by Emma Rodriguez creates more confusion than anything else. It starts, again, the teaching of Ballard as opposed to the old CF gender (though, curiously, not mentioned other writers also appear as Dick and Lem), which, to some extent, is the most logical and coherent literary rigor, interior space and the future as a metaphor This could be the coordinates of this new CF that, personally, it does seem a resurrection of the old New Wave.
Thus Fresán Rodrigo statements, the flamboyant author of "The sky background" reaffirm this way, just as the demand for CF Argentina (probably the highest quality literature written in Castilian) and cyberpunk (a Ultimately Gibson is also an author of more presentable).
The downside is that there is a ceremony after the confusion of the most peculiar. On one hand, cite a number of authors and works, except Ray Loriga and "Tokyo and does not want us" and Nicolas Casariego and "Hunters of light," I, personally, are totally unknown to me, both assumptions precursors (Andrés Ibáñez and "The world in the era of Varick, Antonio Orejudo and his" fitness to travel ") with very new values \u200b\u200b(Manuel Vilas author of" Air our "or Javier Calvo" creator of "The Reflecting God" .)
Along with this we must add a statement more than unfortunate José López Jara, head of the Minotaur, citing new promises of this new CF none other than John Scalzi and Kim Stanley Robins. Something really ridiculous when you consider that Scalzi is a kind of pulp author heinleniano last thread and Robinson, one of the most hard hard, is anything but promising youngster. Another thing is the assertion that you are editing a novel national author, Luis Montero, but, hey, the above statements moved to laughter.
And finally, nothing less than the claim Agustín Fernández Mallo and Nutella trilogy as one of the new landmarks of this new CF.
Where, as always, one end was not clear. And either I have not heard anything, or has made a rehash stews tremendous with very different hair, why put in the same bag to Ballard, CF Argentina, strawberries and cyberpunk has a logic but then add to Minotaur (with Scalzi and Robinson) bypassing other publishers (those of Alamut, SWAT , La Factoria de Ideas, Berenice, Gigamesh, etc, etc), the Nutella boys and a group of totally unknown authors (forgetting all our authors fandomitas) and it sounds weird, weird.
So, for now, I'm hoping someone enlighten me what it's like the new CF but I promise to be a good boy and find all those references unknown to see if some light coat of this coal mine in which it appears that has become, not the new journalism, if not the English journalism lifetime (ie, write something but not have much idea about it).
