Summary

In order to repatriate the victims of a massacre, a young officer is sent to a lost village in the southeast of Mexico. Her first mistake: moving there with her seven-year-old daughter. The second one: opening her house to a survivor. The third: arguing that a criminal group is against Central American migrants. And fourth: trying to resolve the simple question of why no one seems to care. Composed like a kaleidoscope that records all the tones of sarcasm, La fila india is an exciting story that offers us a group of unforgettable characters, a prose that is hard to beat, and the look of an author that registers how to break down the relationship between one individual and the country in which she lives.

A fin de repatriar a las víctimas de una masacre, una joven funcionaria es enviada a un pueblo perdido en el sureste de México. Primer error: mudarse allí con su hija de siete años. Segundo: abrirle las puertas de su casa a una sobreviviente. Tercero: averiguar que un grupo criminal se ensaña contra los migrantes centroamericanos. Y cuarto: tratar de resolver una sencilla pregunta: ¿por qué a nadie parece importarle? Compuesta como un caleidoscopio que registra todos los tonos del sarcasmo, La fila india es la novela de madurez de Antonio Ortuño. Una historia apasionante, a medio paso de la novela negra, que nos ofrece un grupo de personajes inolvidables, una prosa difícil de igualar y la mirada de un autor que registra cómo se descomponen las relaciones entre un individuo cualquiera y el país en que vive.
