Overview
«Los relatos de Juan Villloro tienen ese raro poder no para asomarse al abismo sino para permanecer en el borde del abismo, durante mucho rato, balanceándose y por lo tanto haciéndonos balancear a nosotros sus lectores con movimientos que surgen de la duermevela o tal vez de una lucidez extrema». Roberto Bolaño
Diego González es un documentalista que habla dormido. Está casado con una sonidista que trata de descifrar lo que dice en sueños. Se muda a Barcelona, pero el pasado lo alcanza como una pesadilla. La visita de un viejo conocido, el periodista Adalberto Anaya, trastoca su reciente tranquilidad. Anaya –quien ha vigilado a Diego durante años con la atención casi desmedida de un admirador– lo culpa de haber hecho un documental para entregar a un narco. Diego se ve obligado a lidiar con este enemigo que es, al mismo tiempo, su único aliado.
La tierra de la gran promesa es una metáfora del México contemporáneo. Una lectura amplia sobre las entretelas de la corrupción y la vida íntima donde las verdades se pronuncian al dormir. Una reflexión sobre la forma en que el arte influye en la realidad y en que la realidad distorsiona al arte. Una novela tan política como personal que mantiene a Juan Villoro como un testigo excepcional de nuestro tiempo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
‘Juan Villloro's stories have that rare power not to look out into the abyss but to remain on the edge of the abyss for a long time, swaying and therefore making us, his readers, sway with movements that arise from sleep or perhaps from extreme lucidity.’ Roberto Bolaño
Diego González is a documentary filmmaker who talks in his sleep. He’s married to a sound engineer who tries to decipher what he says in his dreams. He moves to Barcelona, but the past catches up with him like a nightmare. The visit of an old acquaintance, the journalist Adalberto Anaya, upsets his recent tranquility. Anaya - who has watched Diego for years with the almost excessive attention of an admirer - blames him for having made a documentary to give to a narco. Diego is forced to deal with this enemy who is, at the same time, his only ally.
The Land of Great Promise is a metaphor for contemporary Mexico. A broad reading on the interweaving of corruption and intimate life where truths are spoken in sleep. A reflection on the way in which art influences reality and in which reality distorts art. A novel as political as it is personal that maintains Juan Villoro as an exceptional witness of our time.
