In this book the words become the path where a country’s collective memory appears. A painful recollection calls out to literature: the burning of more than thirty people in the Spaniard Embassy in Guatemala City in 1980. The terrorizing story intertwines with the tenderness of the recollection of an abuela who awaits the return of her grandchildren. The characters are archetypes of hope. It was so much the historic violence Guatemala had to live through that there is really no need for the creation of a prototype for a sinister protagonist. It was indeed devastating the life for all Guatemalans during the years of terror. Nevertheless in the words of Marvin DeLos Reyes, an abuela, two children- the mythical twins of Popol Vuh- and the friends of an immigrant to the United States are the ones who from their own wishes, rebuild hopes for the dignity of Guatemalan’s future. Sueño en llamas is our history, Guatemala’s own and is a powerful means to vindicate art, love and life.
