Little, so far, we have to say the name of Jenn Diaz since this is a first novel and to a young author who published at age 22. Similarly, little we have to sound the Belfond, suffocating and fictitious town dominated by a master who one day decided to build a community from nothing and now keeps its inhabitants trapped like a spider web. Belfond not exist, nor there Macondo, Comala or Yoknapatawpha, but very natural, it integrates seamlessly into the invented geography of Hispanic roots.

Belfond probably have more than Comala than any other people, but the site of Jenn Diaz has the particularity of a style of studied fruit readings. We could say that this is Faulkner, Onetti, Rulfo and García Márquez, but also is Ana Maria Matute marking the loss of innocence, that step forced to make some characters adolescent to adult life: "I immediately got nervous knowing that when a child ceases to be a girl, when it becomes a woman, when that happens, previously there is a man who notices her and Are about to start a stretch of adolescence. "

Belfond's characters are people that need to be torn from life under the power of love. All they have is owed to him and when the people need something master gives it. But beneath the first layer of healthy living, lies a world of frustrations, desires truncated unrealistic aspirations and a network of lies and secrets kept to make a bomb Belfond about to explode. However, the great success of the author is not carried away by the need to go beyond the tragedy, but merely to introduce each of the characters and shows us how different it is what you see from outside and that you feel inside. That is the real tragedy of Belfond.

hard to believe that we are facing a first novel, especially seeing Jenn Diaz manages the time of the story: no this is a linear story, but we take turns through the characters, but then step back move, entering a room where the hours and minutes are too relative. Promising off the Jenn Diaz, who, at the hands of the Chief publisher Books, just put the first stone for thirty years is still talking about Belfond.
