"In
the Heart of Silence is a literary debut that shows real evidence of the
possibilities of narrative. In this collection of short stories, Chávez
carves out a path which leads to many different expectations”. Huilo Ruales
"En
el Corazón del Silencio es una ópera prima que evidencia innegables
potencialidades narrativas. Sin lugar a dudas, Chávez nos anuncia con este
cuentario que delante suyo se despliega un camino literario con muchas
expectativas". Huilo Ruales
In
the five stories gathered under the title In the Heart of Silence,
Wladimir Chávez Vaca recalls the world of his youth, a world that is similar
to that of his contemporaries, and yet different, possibly even a little
strange. Perhaps there is a distinct nuance to the majority of the works of
his Ecuadorian generation: the cosmopolitan aspect (...) The characters that
populate that world sometimes perplex the reader with their decisions, and
with the twists and turns encountered on their ways to understanding life and
confronting it with bravery in often unexpected ways. Neither easy nor
superficial, these short stories tear at the human soul with their amazing
simplicity. Jorge Dávila Vázquez.
Con
cinco cuentos agrupados bajo el título que da nombre a estas líneas, Wladimir
Chávez Vaca evoca su mundo, el universo de su juventud, que son los mismos de
sus contemporáneos, y, sin embargo diferentes, posiblemente un poco extraños.
Quizás haya un matiz distinto con los orbes de la mayoría de su generación
ecuatoriana: el aspecto cosmopolita (…) Es remarcable la personalidad de unos
seres, que, a veces, desconciertan al lector con sus decisiones, sus giros en
el modo de ver su vida y enfrentarla de manera valiente, insospechada. No son
historias fáciles ni superficiales, son desgarramientos del alma humana que
se dan con una simpleza, una sencillez, asombrosa. Jorge Dávila Vázquez.
