Harry Edgar Palacio is gifted. He writes magical realism as though truth, as if the author’s life was a mythology. Harry Palacio’s writing pursues the duende. The very same ancient Latin American chimera that haunts with purpose. It is said, as Federico Garcia Lorca expounded, that the author is bound by this fantastical creature, the duende, just as azure tenebrous skies are subject to goddesses. This creature comes to the young debutant as a dark illumined voice in obsidian shadow. And, these are the sutras of interpretation.
