Memory of Fire
In an experimental narrative that evokes Latin American Magical Realism, Velez offers a baroque vision of change and transformation, using Christopher Columbus' encounter with the "New World" as a conceptual foundation. Drawing from Kabalistic and alchemical texts, as well as from historical texts about Columbus' voyages, Velez weaves an exquisite dream that melds the spiritual, the personal, and the political.
