The Lights of Confusion, a narrative work by the Uruguayan author Heber Jes s Mayo Silva, brings together around twenty texts that align themselves in a caravan of uncertainties, barely clarified mysteries, hallucinations, and bewilderments. Although there is a common space that seemingly originates and grows in chaos and confusion, the stories are, precisely, independent of one another. There is an underlying enigma that is never revealed, which increases the reader's interest in somehow reaching a resolution that never appears. The lights-which we may suppose are imaginative flashes-in all cases, prepare the action, determine it, or define it, as if normality always unfolded in darkness, making these luminous bursts necessary-bursts that in some cases fade, in others grow and intensify until they disappear-in order for the events to occur.
