Horacio Castellanos Moya, born in Honduras but was raised in El Salvador, has become a controversial writer for the Central American nation went through a civil war in the early 70's and 80 ' s, which resulted a social breakdown that has marked generations who lived through the time and saw the war ended with the signing of peace accords in 1992 in Chapultepec, Mexico.
His narrative contains a high load of acidity and black humor, but not without historical items from their point of view characterized Salvadoran society today. This has caused inconvenience and discomfort to over a Salvadoran, and the straw that broke the camel was the publication in 1997 of Disgust, Thomas Bernhard in San Salvador , a book intolerable to nationalists as Roberto Bolaños. The book is
a conversation between Edgardo Vega and Moya (Horacio Castellanos Moya), but actually looks like a monologue told by those who hear it. Vega is a man who has lived 18 years outside his native country, El Salvador, and swear never to return, but the death of her mother did meet his worst nightmare, again set foot in El Salvador. Moya Vega was a teammate of the Marist College, and the only person who will like to see throughout the country.
Throughout the conversation Moya Vega tells everything that produces a tremendous disgust of his country, which have been unbearable as the 15 days that he is hoping to resolve the steps of inheritance from his mother and how well being and citizen feels Canada. I am sure for a Salvadoran it is not easy reading, and less if you retain your sense of humor.
Something remarkable is the literary style used is based on an exercise that made the Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard about Salzburg, cultural and political demolition of the city through the lyrics and sense of humor. A work that is worth reading, although I would recommend that was not the first to read this author, since it can generate a bias and not enjoying his work to the fullest.
