Summary

Carmen Boullosa ha sido galardonada con el Premio Excelencia en las Letras José Emilio Pacheco 2023, otorgado por la Feria Internacional de la Lectura de Yucatán (FIley) y UC-Mexicanistas. 

«Considerada una de las figuras más fascinantes de una nueva generación de autores latinoamericanos, Boullosa justifica los elogios con la riqueza de su obra».-
Publishers Weekly
 
En esta segunda recopilación, Carmen Boullosa, una de las voces más importantes de la nueva ficción de América Latina, abandona «la seguridad del jardín de la infancia» —en palabras de Christopher Domínguez Michael— y se interna en el universo de lo imaginario. Un territorio donde la Historia —de la indómita América colonial en Duerme y Son vacas, somos puercos, al Viejo Mundo de La otra mano de Lepanto; de la Europa renacentista en La virgen y el violín, a la Rusia donde inminentemente estallará la revolución de El libro de Ana— y sus personajes ceden a la posibilidad de ser recreados y adaptados al mundo improbable de la ficción, como un recurso para reinventar la realidad y comprender lo que realmente significa ser y estar en la piel de otros. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“Regarded as one of the most dazzling of Latin America's new generation, Boullosa justifies her laurels in this rich work.” –Publishers Weekly
In this second compilation, Carmen Boullosa, one of the most important voices of Latin America’s new fiction, leaves behind "the safety of her childhood garden" – as stated by Christopher Dominguez Michael – and enters the universe of the imaginary.
A landscape where history and its characters yield to the possibility of being recreated and adapted into a world of fiction: from the indomitable colonial America in Duerme / Sleep and Son vacas, somos puercos / They’re Cows, We’re Pigs; to the Old World in La otra mano de Lepanto / Lepanto’s Other Hand; from the Renaissance Europe in La virgen y el violín / The Virgin and the Violin; to the Russia where the revolution in El libro de Ana / Ana’s Book imminently starts; these characters are ultimately used as resources to reinvent reality and understand what it really means to stand in other people’s shoes.
