is curious that a country like ours, so given to poetry anthologies, not produce more anthologies like which concerns us here, a project of Atlantis Editions surprising as the risk involved and the audacity of having actually carried out, especially given the almost total lack of possibilities of publishing a new author without godfathers this or any else on the planet. Tic-Tac. Stories and poems against time has, among its pages to 60 authors, some of whom credited and a solid writing career, or at worst, a name enough to be recognized as quality assurance in the market. Among the former are no less than Espido Freire (time away), the Spaniard Rafael Reig (Time on the tablecloths), poet and novelist Leopoldo Alas (grandson of his namesake and is involved with the poem (A common language) or Ronaldo Cuba's Menendez (The Butterfly Effect), all authors with published work, relatively young and that criticism has recognized its proven worth. Among the latter, Ouka artist Le (e) you or the versatile Luis Eduardo Aute, who contribute to this anthology two unpublished poems (Cintra Notebook and What it is, but ya). Joining them hitherto unknown names like Alberto Massa, César González Álvaro, Julio Montesinos, José A. Gallardo and Guillermo Aguirre. time as a metaphor, inevitable theme of mirrors or narrative, time, finally, as the basis of literature itself (remember that time is precisely that to which any author faces, and consequences that scans any text that seeks to be considered literature), is the point of contact between the various stories and poems from the anthology. However, it is not here, as mentioned above, where lies the true interest of it, but in the extensive list of new names that the publisher has dared to place alongside those sacred cows, all unknown writers for the general public, although some have already published their first works. Obviously, the set, as any collection is uneven, it does not mean that it lacks findings of an extraordinary literary maturity. Stories like mud Chapter 1, where the Spaniard Alberto Massa plays shamelessly to be both Pynchon, and Cortazar, errors of calculation, in which Cesar Gonzalez Alvaro offers a modern reinterpretation of the myth of Sisyphus; A Russian tale in which Eduardo Vilas approaches the game realities of Gogol's The Overcoat; on quicksand, Guillermo Aguirre, a metaphor borjiana personal memory, or, finally, the Futurists In telling my story the memory of Bilbao Mateo Peace or War Time and JD Alvarez. All these stories, along with the also excellent All palaces are empty or when God pulls a hand ... to name just a small sample, make up the core strength of Tic-Tac, a book that shows it is possible to dispose of literary bets without the support of big media, and has the enthusiastic participation of teachers and students of Hotel Kafka, a writing school has recently created a dynamic with the cultural initiatives of our capital. Atlantis continues editions as well (and now they're three years old), its commitment to independent publishing giving us this wonderful collection of authors own and others with the certainty that in any case, only "time is the best anthologist, or Only maybe .... "
