“Está en el límite que separa al mundo feudal del mundo moderno, eso produce una vertiginosa sensación de desequilibrio en el tiempo. Eso es Ecuador. Un poderoso anacronismo.”
Gabriela Alemán, La muerte silba un blues

“A bunch of bananas can’t be left outside the door, because it will vanish. It”
Gabriela Alemán, Poso Wells

El lenguaje crea la realidad Sra. Travis. Saque sus propias conclusiones. Tiene a un hombre muerto y algunas especulaciones. Usted es la periodista. ¿Qué cree que pasó?”
Gabriela Alemán, Body Time
