Summary

Malayerba is one of the most violent books of recent times, as well as one of the most interesting, necessary, and extraordinary. It is a fragmented chronicle of the violence of drug trafficking in northern Mexico and how it appears reflected in everyday life and language in the area. This book marks Javier Valdés Cárdenas’s definitive entrance into the genre in Mexico.

'Malayerba' es uno de los libros más violentos que se han publicado en los últimos años, y también de los más interesantes, precisos, extraordinarios. Es la crónica, necesariamente fragmentaria, de la violencia del narcotráfico en el norte de México, o más bien de la experiencia de ese acaecer violento tal como se manifiesta cotidianamente en aquella zona del país: la vivencia de los niños, de los empleados y empleadas, de los ciudadanos de a pie; de los narcos incipientes y los pesados. Y es también un poderoso registro sonoro de la infiltración de esa experiencia terrible en la lengua de todos los días, en el habla de la calle. Con este libro, Javier Valdés Cárdenas entra de manera definitiva en la historia de la crónica en México, y lo hace por la puerta grande.
