Alexandra Sierra Rioz - “Non-sense” (session 17) In the setting of an ironic but at the same time critical piece, the omniscient third-person narrator tells throughout this fiction piece the “mundane” details of the life of a young woman, whose characteristics are slowly being revealed as the reader advances. There’s nothing special about her life, because this piece is not about what’s special but what’s common. What’s common within all girls and women in the world and the things that most of them go through at least once in their lifetime, although they shouldn’t be experiencing them at all. It’s a piece of reflections, of that kind that makes you sit still for a little while wondering.
