La escritura de Nona incomoda desde la espontaneidad y claridad con la que retrata la vida en los a\u00f1os de la Junta Militar. Entre hiperrealismo y ficci\u00f3n, la autora accede al conocimiento hist\u00f3rico a trav\u00e9s de la literatura. Chilean Electric, una de sus novelas cumbre, es un ensayo personal de su abuela y sus recuerdos en torno de la instalaci\u00f3n de la primera planta el\u00e9ctrica en Santiago de Chile. A pesar de ser un recuerdo falso, pues la abuela naci\u00f3 a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s de esta emblem\u00e1tica Ceremonia de La Luz, las im\u00e1genes se tornan tan personales para Nona, que decide abrazarlas con curiosidad a lo largo de la novela.<\/p>\n

Los nuevos faros p\u00fablicos, las veladoras, las polillas que sobrevuelan la ciudad, las fr\u00e1giles luci\u00e9rnagas, las vuelve todas herramientas para retratar la vida de la abuela as\u00ed como registrar las brutalidades del Estado en los a\u00f1os 80: familias enteras desaparecidas, muchachos golpeados en plena plaza p\u00fablica, ahorcados y asesinados. La escritura concluye, sirve para iluminar las zonas oscuras de la historia.<\/p>\n

Una hermosa figura en la novela son las velitas de ovejero (cannileddi di picuraru): luci\u00e9rnagas que, involuntariamente en su vuelo, alumbran a los ni\u00f1os pastores en la temible oscuridad de la noche. A diferencia de las velitas de ovejero, las letras de Nona buscan, con toda la intenci\u00f3n, alumbrar los sucesos que hasta hoy siguen ensombreciendo las memorias familiares de los santiaguinos.<\/p>\n

Fern\u00e1ndez, forma probablemente parte de una nueva generaci\u00f3n de escritores en el cono sur: la generaci\u00f3n de la posmemoria. Aquellos que, desde la ficci\u00f3n, hacen una revisi\u00f3n colectiva de la memoria: como pr\u00e1ctica y acto. Marianne Hirsch singulariza a esta generaci\u00f3n como los hijos de sobrevivientes que heredaron historias catastr\u00f3ficas a trav\u00e9s de im\u00e1genes, objetos, historias y afecciones inquietantes. El logo de la CETL, el vientre sin ombligo de la abuela, la m\u00e1quina de escribir Remington de graf\u00edas borradas, el r\u00edo Mapocho, el kil\u00f3metro cero, est\u00e1n cargados de capas de sentido que facilitan la apropiaci\u00f3n de la historia de la abuela como la suya propia.<\/p>\n

\u201cSolo estoy yo, la oscuridad y esas polillas intrusas que me rondan la cabeza. Son varias y tienen los nombres de las letras del abecedario.\u201d<\/p>\n
