| Summary: | The novel Racimo (2014) by Diego Zúñiga is an ingenious assemble of local and global violence that traces a subtle relation between tragic events in different geographies and temporalities. Racimo effectively evokes the traumatic past from a unique perspective that attempts to link the 1973 Copu d´état with the terrorist attacks in New York in 2001. Local memory therefore is questioned from a global perspective. In other words, the novel suggests the need to exanimate the Chilean September 11 through its connection with the 9/11. |
