Andrés Palladino

Three philosophical stories

El límite del silencio

Tríptico de márgenes

Published through Amazon

Three fictions about the ways a community, a building and an archive can come to determine what exists—and what is left outside.

Cover of El límite del silencio

La estancia, Hotel 17 de Octubre and Lo que no consta form a triptych in which language, procedures and silence acquire material force. An accusation unsettles a community; a hotel offers an unnerving kind of belonging; a book and a set of documents confront their readers with the consequences of what is recorded.

These stories bring philosophical questions into fiction: who gets to tell a story, what authority that account acquires, and what happens to whatever it cannot accommodate.
