Resumen
Entre los escritores más prolíficos de la región centroamericana, se encuentra el guatemalteco Javier Payeras (1974). Narrador, poeta y ensayista, e integrante del movimiento literario de la posguerra denominado Generación X, Payeras se ha constituido en un representante de una generación contemporánea incómoda para los cánones tradicionales. Desde esta perspectiva, el cuento inédito suyo que reproducimos en esta edición N. 25, relata ese tráfico de almas y sustancias lícitas e ilícitas, que cobra su muerte cotidiana en la banal intoxicación de las clases medias, donde el afuera parece tan lleno y el adentro tan vacío, que es preciso saciarlo desesperadamente a punta de ilusiones corroídas.

From this perspective, the unpublished story of his that we reproduce in this edition No. 25, tells of that traffic of souls and licit and illicit substances, which takes its daily death in the banal intoxication of the middle classes, where the outside seems so full and the inside so empty, that it is necessary to satiate it desperately at the point of corroded illusions.
