VANEGAS VASQUEZ, Orfa Kelita. VAGABOND HEROES: NARRATIVE MEMORY OF THE COLOMBIAN WAR. La Palabra [online]. 2014, n.25, pp.43-56. ISSN 0121-8530.
The common issue in Los Ejércitos (2007) by Evelio Rosero (1958), Los Derrotados (2012) by Juan Pablo Montoya (1963) and El Incendio de Abril (2012) by Miguel Torres (194?) is the usage of a nomad character, this person goes from one place to another, comes from nowhere and goes towards nowhere; this is a mechanism to refer to the Colombian sociopolitical violence and its outcomes in the personal and collective subjectivity. The narrative plot is based on the never ending daily life, where the voice that tells, always in first person, is away from the intention of explaining what it is actually seen and this voice merely explores the emotional effects that the conflict produces. In the common terror experience the impossibility of the memory is displayed, and the loss of territory triggers the negation and the oblivion.
