Resumen:
This text provides an introduction to the English language version of Reina Roffé´s works THE REEF and EXOTIC BIRDS. I propose that the search for a literary voice that shines and illuminates the nuanced lights and shadows in exile epitomizes Reina Roffé’s literature. Roffé has always sought ways to find an uneasy, yet compelling passage through silence and into words. The forms of exile Roffé describes are multiple: on the one hand and very concretely the exile of Argentinean dissidents during the military dictatorship of 1976-1983, but also in a more general way the alienation of women in patriarchal society, and what French feminists have described as the ambivalent relationship of women to patriarchal language. .
