Lima, a space representative of the problems Peru is facing; Lima, metaphor and product of a system in crisis; Lima, a complex Babel. In Peru, Art and Literature reveal the true face of Lima. Writers and artists have a leading role in their society and are often in the forefront of denouncing the problems that the country is experiencing on a political, social, economic level, etc. They propose to the reader/viewer a new way of looking at Lima. They offer the reader/spectator a true radiography of the city of Lima. In front of the works of Alvaro Portales and Eduardo Tokeshi, reading the novels of Oscar Malca (Al final de la calle), Fernando Ampuero (Caramelo Verde), Jorge Eduardo Benavides (Los años inútiles, El año que rompí contigo), Jaime Bayly (La noche es virgen, No se lo digas a nadie) and Martín Mucha (Tus ojos en una ciudad gris), the reader realizes that Lima is the common thread. So let's wander around Lima.
