The devilish Musa Marrull Aeneas

He writes: Bruno Buendia Sialer

The Peruvian writer Aeneas Marrull Lima has just presented his first novel "The Devil in my bed", which reminds that the literary tradition of the pact with the devil has its climax in the West, where he celebrated in Goethe's Faust , and closer in Mann's Doctor Faustus. The tradition is very old and essentially European, however, extends far Satanism in film, theater and TV, to get to vampirism and derivatives. Not to mention the exquisite eroticism Satan has come to experience voyeurs modes and more refined in the vanguard.

But to explain the Devil perhaps we should refer Marrull Aeneas to Bryan Singer's film, The Usual Suspects, which states that "The best move of the devil was to convince the world that did not exist."

But there, as Marrull reveals, in events that fall one after another in the pages of "The Devil in my bed." This is a demon mediated by our kindness, everyday fears and hesitations. Even love is capable of demonized, and this in turn Satan enjoys it, wherever you are. It is generally within us, is called Thanatos, is temptation, confusion, or simple boredom.

And what better person than a woman to be possessed by the devil. The female protagonist is often akin to the Muses. In this context we approach the great erotic devilish, satanic and pleasant that in Peru there. Among us the literary tradition of the devil, the devil is usually sexual and works perfectly in Peruvian literature. The Muse satanic or woman behind it all, has a pedestal, but Philip Meredia Buendía see who won, something diabolical, an award narrative Tenerife (Spain). Or see also devil-blooded in the special colloquial Peruvian Traditions by Ricardo Palma.

Marrull Aeneas, owner of a vast culture, funny colloquialisms opt for, if anything the term, to write "The Devil in my bed" in a tone of suspense picaresque, which is advertised in the back cover so, when not winding.

There the main character is suggested by the devil-woman, who routed the whole work. However, the main character seems to us rather Carlos, the eternal creator of literary or journalistic, wrapped in a room / small room where Lili arrives in the most sophisticated sense of what is satanic goddess Lilith, to develop a plot is basically an erotic and emotional.

The humor and dialogue to the cold of characters, are constantly fooled by the writer, and pilloried for his style from the beginning, as seen with adoctorados teachers and blackmailers sabiondo sex in the plot of the novel begins to move. Literary enjambment it is straightforward: it / Lily / Lilith, it appears to Carlos, and presents a distressing problem, but in a not so innocent. And to solve the mystery of the narrator to sleep with the devil, embodied in delicious female flesh. So she discovers the demonic presence and then hidden personal history of goddess-nymph-friend-enemy, to which the devil can not get the body or the glory of raising it to orgasm.

It is in this narrative development is a Lima, race and language of Lima, and is jacarandas, wonderfully mischievous and can even reach the summit of cynicism, and then on top of the sentence, with street poetry of great poetry or manners Peruvian.

It is in the axis suspense Lili / Carlos / Lilith which gives out the successive appearance and almost theatrical different characters in the novel are secondary, but also surrounding the relationship disco / provincial / room / ward intrigue / chismoseo and envy of women, who assist the troubled relationship that is always in the bed between negligent and failed approaches.

Such a dilemma, ethical apparently the author, is as present as novel course, one of the axes of the novel itself. Especially when the details of penetration or not, and its preamble, Carlos sees or feels part of the demon Lilith, which is possibly the woman feels very Peruvian, when its parts metamorphose into intimacy, women appear transformed into the animal beast we will show that the devil has taken the author's bed ... looking for some literary pact?

Characters devilish / women who are always strangely Peruvian Limens and provincial (the latter is of vital importance) appear make little money, the queer philosopher friends, insinuations, the intrigues of the corners, and sexual blackmail perpetrated by teachers with their students . And this is what is present in the prudish and now new rich or pitubobre Lima, which has Marrull Aeneas reflect double and triple the morale of a young creolized, fingerprinting by the sensuality of the tips of his fingers between fear and distances, sniffing the devil and creating suspense in the novel, ending in a fresh way and nothing overbearing.

What do you look this book, what does this novel? Do join in the tradition of evil literature? Winks cultural and even scholars who used to deify Marrull a girl who, otherwise, would be any neighbor, are involved in the everyday vocabulary permanent Lima, which the narrator presents and that is delicious in its archaisms of Lima gossip and amoral. The churches and their priests, as the nuns are not Marrull concern, not needed in this case, which may presage another novel rather, where the author seems to feel more comfortable, as the intrigues of women / devil in this book has had a great stage which closes leaving the impression of being the first part. It is undeniable to any reader has been advised that a lot of ink in the ink. Will he return to appear Lily / Lilith? In any case, do Marrull Aeneas reappears in the intensity of their experiences, simple sentences sentencing those twists that make his style and end chronic fictionalized novel and good literature?

The hilarious outcome of legal proceedings against the devil Lili turned into innocent victims, is ludicrously Kafkaesque, introducing the cynicism that pleasure in a Muffat Nana confess to their peers socially. ¿Is not Lili aperricholada a young girl in Lima today where your orgasms are described with a spontaneity that traps? Could this be Lili, a girl Perricholi / chibolas within the city dwellers of their moral corner, and can give even more splendor in a further intention in an author handles well with female characters that haunt him. Because Aeneas Marrull not judge or party, but is integrated into the bed she shares with Lili, and the passion with which she presents her vocation and her.

This is a novel that has to be read and enjoyed. Lili Marrull The figure presented is current and contemporary, from any corner of the world super deified in the Internet information. For women to pursue apparently prescription needed, so just wait, excuse me, with the intention of literary glory which always hits the slip of the caustic mockery of this boasting permits. Marrull takes care of this. Perricholescos minor quirks, the domain of women for the pleasure it gives to the erotic, the book presents a simplicity that overwhelms, demonic possessions would be the envy of writers such as Ira Levin and the saga of Prophecy, green taste fill Palma in Lima traditionalist who never thought to see and enjoy. Finally include the episode of insanity in the Larco Herrera, another Kafkaesque that Marrull limping devil naughty presents, you are admitted, under protest, within the Peruvian novelists of his generation.
