Nena, nena de mi corazon es un texto del desplazamiento latino por el mundo. Descentramiento que se manifiesta en movimiento, traslado y sustitucion. Los personajes principales circulan y circunnavegan por multiples espacios geograficos, politicos, historicos y sociales, propios de la realidad hispanica cambiante. De aqui que el relato se apropie de la cronica, la memoria, el comentario socio-politico, la vineta, la epistola, el canto popular para narrar las circunstancias desorbitadas de unos sujetos que han fragmentado las fronteras, han destrozado las utopias nacionales para vislumbrarse enteramente dentro de unos ordenes a veces distorsionados, otras veces canjeados por inherencias trocadas o reinventadas que les permitan ubicarse en el orden o en el caos de la nueva vision mundial. La figura femenina resulta ser el eje central donde se busca definir y redefinir la esencialidad telurica, mistica y espiritual humana. En este sentido, el libro representa un dialogo exterior e interior con su antecesor Cuestion de hombres, donde la figura masculina indagaba y cuestionaba preambulos absurdos que insistian en constrenir el nucleo de su ser. Nena, nena de mi corazon retoma un dialogo abierto cuyo fin ulterior es rastrear el motivo, el fundamento, la razon que lleva al ser humano a la transitividad de su existencia. Nena, nena de mi corazon (Beloved, Beloved of My Heart) is an account of Latino displacement throughout the world; decentralization manifested in movement, transference and substitution. The principle characters circulate and circumnavigate within multiple geographic, political, historical and social spheres pertaining to the ever-changing Hispanic reality. For this reason the narrative appropriates the chronicle, the memoir, the socio-political commentary, the vignette, the epistle or the popular song to recount the maddening circumstance of these individuals who have fragmented all boundaries and destroyed national utopias to see themselves completely within frameworks, at times distorted and at others changed by an altered or reinvented fundamental nature, that permit them to be placed within the order or chaos of their new world vision. The feminine figure is the central axis that seeks to define and redefine the earthly, mystic and spiritual human essence. In this sense, the book represents an exterior and interior dialogue with its predecessor Cuestion de hombres (A Matter of Men), where the masculine figure delved into and questioned the absurd preambles that insist on constraining the core of man's being. Nena, nena de mi corazon (Beloved, Beloved of my Heart) takes up an open dialogue with the ultimate goal of encountering the motive, the foundation, the reason that leads human beings to the transitive nature of their existence."
