About the Book

De Emiliano Monge, autor de Las tierras arrasadas, ganadora del IX Premio Iberoamericano de Novela Elena Poniatowska.

Los once cuentos reunidos en este libro dibujan el fantasma de una constelación. Y el signo que preside esta constelación es el de la Violencia.

La superficie más honda es un bestiario del hombre como lobo de sí mismo: de la árida intimidad del terror familiar hasta la voracidad de un linchamiento, físico o mediático, la ira y la erosión son aquí las soberanas. Como si los personajes fueran peones de una voluntad vaporosa pero total, el destino personal y el devenir social actúan en estos relatos como una fuerza anónima que lo ordena todo. Es decir: que lo disuelve todo.

Con un estilo implacable, Emiliano Monge construye precisas atmósferas de opresión. Desde las primeras palabras de cada cuento, se insinúa una vaguedad acechante, un vacío que se expande feroz hasta llevar a los microuniversos a su disolución final. Agujeros negros de ironía se abren por todas partes, pero en este caso el humor no ofrece un alivio o una salida, sino que hace aún más profunda la corrosión. Personajes -y lectores- se descubren sospechando que quizás nunca han estado aquí, en esta delgada profundidad que llamamos mundo, y al final no queda más consuelo que el de la desbandada.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

By Emiliano Monge, author of Las tierras arrasadas, winner of the 9th Elena Poniatowska Iberoamerican Novel Prize. The eleven short stories gathered in this book depict the ghost of a constellation. And the ruling sign of this constellation is that of Violence.

The Deepest Surface is a bestiary of man as the wolf himself: from the dry intimacy of familiar terror to the voracity of a lynching--either physical or by the media--here, wrath and erosion are king. As if the characters were pawns of some diaphanous will, personal destiny and social transformation act in these tales like an anonymous force that arranges everything. That is to say: it dissolves everything. With a merciless style, Emiliano Monge constructs precise atmospheres of oppression. From the first words in each story, a lurking vagueness insinuates itself, an emptiness that expands ferociously until it pushes the microuniverses to their final dissolution. Black holes of irony open up all around, but in this case humor doesn't offer relief or a way out, but rather makes the corrosion more profound. Characters--and readers--discover themselves suspecting that perhaps they have never been here, in this thin depth that we call the world, and in the end there is no solace but that of escape.
