|  | | ¿Recuerdas en tus sueños?
La tercera novela corta de Alex Cantón-Dutari recoge recuerdos ancestrales y los entrelaza a través de la fantasía. El lector podría sentir la necesidad de perpetuar sus propias reminiscencias.
Al nacer el segundo nieto el abuelo decidió relatar la vida de su difunta esposa a través de cuentos para que los nietos que vinieran en el futuro la conocieran.
Aunque cada relato es independiente, la línea conductora se mantiene al igual que los personajes principales, lo cual define esta obra como una novella -- novela corta.
El trabajo final incluye hechos de la vida real de la sociedad panameña a finales del siglo pasado y parte del presente con humor, añoranza y, especialmente, amor entre abuelo y nieto.
La historia se lleva a | |  | | Her Peaceful Sleep
A short story depicting the Doc's struggle through the last period of his wife's life.
This is a short story which the author wrote a few years after his wife's death.
The story follows the particular style of Canton-Dutari, showing and telling as well manipulating time.
Though it may be described as a "tear jerker," this may be due more to the reader's sensibility than the purpose of the story.
There is an element of surprise which is just a writing technique.

Throughout the story the parallelism between daughter and parent is portrayed to understand the frequent emptiness of children born out of wedlock in Central America.
Though being born our of wedlock is very frequent in Central America, not many children express the sense of loss, suffering, isolation with which they have to live. This was especially true in the beginnings of last century and even nowadays, in spite of the laws that have been enacted to protect them.
This is a true story of a real fighter -- a girl that never gave up her search for her father. The search was more psychological than physical. This project took her from her original Nicaragua to Panama and, finally, to California.
