Product Details
Overview
La Biblioteca Jorge Ibargüengoitia reúne la obra narrativa, ensayística, dramatúrgica y periodística del autor que retrató con humor negro e ironía las capas más oscuras de la realidad mexicana. Las muertas lleva al terreno de la ficción un espantoso caso verídico: el de las Poquianchis.
Junto con tres hombres, una mujer llega a un pueblo buscando venganza por una vieja afrenta. Una vez que dan con el objetivo —Simón, el panadero—, lo balacean e incendian su local. El panadero sobrevive al ataque e identifica más tarde a la culpable en el Ministerio Público: Serafina Baladro, su antigua amante. Ambos son acusados de haber llevado a cabo una inhumación clandestina, pero las investigaciones del crimen revelan los oscuros secretos de Serafina y su hermana Arcángela, dueñas de cantinas y prostíbulos, así como su siniestra relación con una serie de estafas, trata de mujeres, fosas y asesinatos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The Jorge Ibargüengoitia Library brings together the author’s narrative, essays, plays, and journalism, all marked by his dark humor and irony in portraying the most shadowy layers of Mexican reality. Las muertas takes a horrifying true case—the Poquianchis—and transforms it into fiction.
Together with three men, a woman arrives in a town seeking revenge for an old grievance. Once they find their target—Simón, the baker—they shoot him and set his shop on fire. The baker survives the attack and later identifies the culprit at the Public Prosecutor’s Office: Serafina Baladro, his former lover. Both are accused of carrying out a clandestine burial, but the crime investigations uncover the dark secrets of Serafina and her sister Arcángela, owners of taverns and brothels, as well as their sinister involvement in a series of frauds, human trafficking, mass graves, and murders.
