La Santita is an opening to cosmopoetic worlds where the boundaries between body and spirit, culture and nature, feminine and masculine, the playful and the rational, science and magic fade away. In seven stories, the author organizes universes where mangroves, chickens, volcanic rocks, ashes, Owi Wan Kenobi, or Cristal meet and weave connections that challenge the existence of other realities (not necessarily Western) that escape the limits of time and space and the living and the dead. Inspired by the cosmologies of the Andean world and its deep violences, Moscoso works magic with words, invents rhythms, and brings references from popular culture alongside another ancestral pop culture. A puzzle of references so recognizable in Moscoso’s imagination and in so many parts of America. Posters of Chayanne and Hello Kitty among precarious homes, random vegetation, empty lots, houses made with unpainted and unplastered bricks, endless cities, and buildings that shine in the sun, the smell of fried food and cilantro. Neon and cumbia. Virgins and Star Wars. We are, perhaps, facing a literature of the end of the world.
