A causa de la dictadura militar en Argentina, Tununa Mercado vivió en México durante casi trece años, de 1974 a 1987. El testimonio que da de su experiencia en el exilio atraviesa las fronteras de lo autobiográfico y lo ficcional, de los géneros y de las formas convencionales, para mostrar "la manera en que la política se incrusta en nuestras casas, en nuestros armarios, en nuestros cuerpos", como afirma Nora de la Cruz en su introducción. En En estado de memoria Tununa Mercado hace del exilio una experiencia íntima, de emociones complejas y devastadoras, donde la voz resiste al olvido para no dejarse vencer, el cuerpo lucha por tener un lugar en el mundo y la mirada repara en las cosas mínimas para permanecer asida a la realidad. Su lectura en el presente ilumina los rincones más oscuros del desarraigo, de la pobreza y la violencia que movilizan a millones y que se han convertido en nuevas formas de opresión.
