Raña

By Caleb True

RA A spirals outward from the blood, sweat, and heat of the boxing ring where Eugenio Rafael Ra a takes on any opponent in Villa Ocho. In every match, he is again a soldier in the Falklands (Malvinas) War, battling alongside his Argentinian countrymen and hell-bent on victory. Inside the ring, he envisions himself a heavyweight phenom punishing his British foes with haymakers. Outside the ring, Ra a spends his days in the hinterlands of Argentina, drinking and looking for his next fight. Rewinding, pausing, fast-forwarding-he replays VHS tapes of professional boxing matches, as he does his memories of the war, searching for a win. RA A is a phantasmagoria of modern war, brutal defeat, and a lifelong anguish that endures.
