THE TALE AND THE TONGUE. Hybrid Worlds within Unusual Realities
«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), and more recently "Tierra fresca de su tumba".Living creatures of fiction is Giovanna Rivero's name for what many call characters. Another term she 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.The sensitivity to the environment is very present in Giovanna Rivero's thinking, whose ethic calls for the importance of all lives, human and non-human, as part of a whole on and off planet Earth.
