The works of Margarita García Robayo (Cartagena de Indias, 1980) are characterized by a crude and ironic tone. To that extent, it seems the author has the intention of bringing the socially established into crisis by means of certain uncomfortable and disconcerting body images that reject society’s invariability condition. This essay proposes a reading of three of the author’s works, considering a dynamic and changing overlay between homeland and exile, body images that inhabit them, and a writing that can sometimes be self-referential, revealing her relationship with the body and, therefore, with memory.
