Xaxim é o nome que se dá ao tronco fibroso usado como vaso para certas samambaias. É também uma cidade no mapa, no interior do Brasil. É nesse duplo território, matéria e lugar, que Ieda Magri constroi uma narrativa em que o passado se infiltra no presente e a memoria se organiza menos como linha do que como sobreposiço.Na casa das freiras, onde passa a infancia e a adolescencia, a narradora aprende a olhar o mundo ao mesmo tempo em que toma distancia dele. Entre a disciplina dos dias e as pequenas epifanias que marcam a formaço de uma jovem leitora, emerge uma geografia intima, um museu imaginario feito de imagens, duvidas e tentativas de entender o proprio lugar no mundo.Ao revisitar essa historia, ja adulta, ela no busca respostas, mas as formas que a memoria encontra para permanecer. Como uma infiltraço que se espalha lentamente, o passado desenha mapas imprecisos, nos quais vida, linguagem e experiencia se confundem.Em Xaxim, Ieda Magri confirma a força de uma escrita que transforma o intimo em paisagem e faz da lembrança no um abrigo, mas um campo de investigaço: como pode um mapa de caminhos palmilhados no passado se impor a geografia do presente?

It must have been a matter of surprise to most of us who have arrived at, or passed, middle life, on looking back through a vista of years, to note what an astonishingly important part has been played in our lives by entirely trivial circumstances. It has, indeed, become a common-place that great events from little causes spring; but we do not realise, until we actually submit our experiences to analysis, how the whole tenour and meaning of our lives has in many cases been determined by some occurrence so unimportant that, at the time, it appears incredible that it should have any consequences at all.Yet so it is. Not only great and critical events which occupy our attention at the time and impress themselves afterwards upon our memory, but trifling circumstances that pass almost unnoticed and are straightway forgotten generate each its train of consequences; and when in retrospect we retrace our steps through the busy years, we are apt to find the starting-point of the main action of our life in some little incident that had long since passed out of recollection until thus recalled by association.

I realized that I was sorry to be back in New York. Molly Underhill had telephoned: Oh, darling, Im so remorseful that we didnt meet your ship! Eva Litchfield and I were going to be waiting for you with cheers because youre home at last, and then Eva couldnt get away. Shes in the last throes of a book, you knowor maybe you dont know; youve become an expatriate, havent you? Gasping, lisping, gushingly affectionate because she was speaking to me instead of talking about me, she eventually came to the point and invited me to dine with her at our old haunt, one of those establishments run by an Italian whose name it would be a shame to give. There was much to hear, she assured me; things had been popping, as they could pop only in New York. But Ill tell all, in the taxi, she promised. Only, the drive will be short, and the tale is long.
