Sobre El Autor

Poet and novelist Ismael Reed was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on February 22, 1938 and grew up in Buffalo, New York. After attending the State University of New York at Buffalo, he moved to New York City, where he became a co-founder of the East Village Other, a journal of experimental writing. mostrar más From New York, he moved to Berkeley, California, and started the Yardbird Publishing Company. Reed's fiction draws upon myth, magic, and ritual to produce a literature that attempts to be larger than life. He has been called an ironist, whose explorations of United States history in general and African American history in particular reveal deep scars in the culture that no amount of technology can heal. Reed tries to incorporate multimedia and nonlinear techniques into his writing style. He has defended his eclectic techniques with spirit, however: "Many people call my fiction muddled, crazy, incoherent because I've attempted in fiction the techniques and forms painters, dancers, film makers, musicians in the West have taken for granted for at least 50 years, and the artists of many other cultures, for thousands of years." His other published books include: six collections of poetry, including: New and Collected Poems, 1964-2007; eight collections of essays, most recently Barack Obama and the Jim Crow Media: The Return of the Nigger Breakers (2010); Gethsemane Park; The Reed Reader (2000); Blues City: A Walk in Oakland (2003); and six plays, collected by Dalkey Archive Press as Ishmael Reed, The Plays (2009).

Al principio, las caras eran sólo una nebulosa, pero enseguida logró identificar a las personas. Era un dibujo que había visto en un libro sobre Salem, de los patriarcas puritanos en el momento de condenar solemnemente a las acusadas de brujería. En lugar de esas caras difusas aparecieron las de Tremonisha Smarts y Becky French. No podía oír lo que decían. Movían los labios. Estaban enfadadas. Él estaba sentado en el banquillo asignado a las brujas. Becky dijo algo a uno de los guardias y el guardia se dirigió hacia él. Estaba ahora a punto de llevárselo al patíbulo —era lo que dedujo, con esa lógica peculiar que nos invade en sueños—, pero cuando el guardia levantó la vista bajo el sombrero puritano de color negro, no era ya ningún guardia, sino su propia madre…
En seguida, Becky y Tremonisha dijeron «¡Corte, corte!» y el sueño dio paso a una escena en el desierto. Estaba encogido tras un cactus, al tiempo que una mano con piel resbaladiza se disponía a seccionarle la cabeza a una serpiente cascabel, mediante una daga afilada y centelleante.
