what has been said in the release of THE UNION

THE UNION (Francisco Miranda, La Calabaza del Diablo Independent Publishing, 2001) "Francisco Miranda performed in the Union a "collective conversation." (...) There is a longing for reen encounter with friends and memories (whether good or bad), a need to rescue a vital project for the life cut short, to stay with some scraps.
"In this story, writing some dissatisfaction arises from the suspicion of failure, well, part of the narrative reveals a certain optimism, while the other is consciously his back. In fact, when there is irreparable losses, the writing project is a major challenge "

* * *" Beyond its undoubted literary merits, the Union provides another look for making a generational portrait. The thousands of young people who, after the defeat and disappointment, they chose to put aside. By stepping aside before a country where, little by little they were imposing the obsequiousness, the passivity and frivolity.
" 2
* * *" From his first book, Francisco Miranda's narrative is characterized by its strength and coherence to portray the world of young people living in marginal neighborhoods Santiago ... Her stories and her novel The Union now recreate the experiences of a young generation born in the seventies ... In this sense, one the merits of the work of Francisco Miranda has been incorporated into our narrative a series of characters young, premature, forgotten ... "
" Miranda makes a stark and vital portrait of his generation, with a language, that as in his other books is direct, fast, authentic in each of his turns. The Union is a novel key to understanding the current world of youth, and is also a vigorous and successful novel, well constructed and convincing characters. "
"The Union joins the list of good young authors published by La Calabaza del Diablo. A narrative that may not have had the publicity it deserves, but is making its way to force of vitality and good pens "

* * * "The novel of Miranda means, in principle, an absolute release not so consistently non-generational sailing, however, from the same topic, does establish the existence of a popular or minority world, forgotten by aesthetic-literary discourses mystify and recover marginally. Miranda writes from the adoption of a first person naive, sentimental, nostalgic, defeatist and barbaric. The protagonist is a guy who lived during the eighties heyday of its existence. Belonged to a group of young population affected by political repression, addicts wine, marijuana and enjoyment of useless talks corner. "
"... I read this text, a word not impostada around urban marginality. Perhaps this is the central aspect of the book, a literary one missing link in the margins: they are always defeated. Those who are imposing zero tolerance and is labeled with numbers useless. To listen really, that gentrification is facing its other, well worth reading the novel "
