Editor's Note:
O Baluarte Tomado é um conto de Damian Murphy, obra intensa, perturbadora, que, à sua própria maneira, se aproxima de "Casa Tomada", desconcertante conto de Julio Cortázar a respeito de um imóvel que gradativamente vai sendo tomado por invasores de intenções obscuras. A narrativa de Damian trata das memórias de conflitos do passado, ao mesmo tempo remotas e irreais, além de processos (ou peregrinações) subjetivas, solipsismos na direção de novos ritos – uma espécie de jornada mística e iniciática que ocorre na mente do narrador. Trata-se de um personagem, Ghislain, que descobre um estranho edifício no centro de Antuérpia, na Bélgica – cidade que foi tantas vezes cercada e outras tantas arrasada, baluarte que sofria com o constante perigo de uma nova invasão. A prosa da narrativa é elusiva, quase poética – ainda há algo de horror nela, mas também de uma estranha naturalidade diante do incomum.Como usual em Damian, há uma busca nessa estranha narrativa de transformar as possibilidades do tempo narrativo, aparentemente progressivo e linear, em um evento cíclico, como as estações do ano e os rituais pagãos (que sobrevivem, vagos, em nossa memória coletiva) que as celebram. Este será o primeiro volume da série Raphus Chartae, que trará para os leitores em língua portuguesa a riqueza e a complexidade de certas tendências (ou nuances) da nova narrativa fantástica, de terror e decadente.
