Summary

Esta novela es una notable narración en primera persona hecha por uno de los más distinguidos escritores mexicanos, acerca de la masacre estudiantil de Tlatelolco que se llevó a cabo en Ciudad de México en 1968. El propósito de Paco Ignacio Taibo II es recuperar, a través de su memoria y de las notas que él mismo tomó durante aquellos días, la verdad de los hechos ocurridos durante el verano del 68 hasta el terrible 2 de octubre. Por lo menos 200 estudiantes fueron asesinados a tiros, muchísimos más fueron heridos y detenidos. Luego, los cuerpos de los muertos fueron sacados con camiones, los adoquines fueron lavados y el atroz crimen "desapareció". Hoy día el recuento oficial de los eventos sigue negando la matanza. A través de una prosa provocadora, anecdótica y analítica, el autor reivindica "un fantasma mexicano más, de los muchos fantasmas que pueblan nuestras tierras".
