Product Details
Overview
Una de las obras más ambiciosas de la literatura mexicana, tanto por su extensión como por su estilo único.
En Remadrín, un pequeño pueblo del desierto, un grupo de desconocidos ha robado las urnas en las narices de los votantes el mismo día de las elecciones. A las protestas multitudinarias en las que participan Salomón y Papías, vástagos de Trinidad —un tendero avaro y cobarde, opuesto a las peligrosas pasiones de sus hijos—, sigue la represión brutal del ejército, los caminos bloqueados, los muertos, los desaparecidos...
Pero también se suceden las torpezas y los equívocos propiciados por el siniestro alcalde Romero Pomar, quien se resiste a dimitir. Así, mientras se decide su suerte y los espectros deambulan por las calles, un camión de carga en errático bamboleo deja caer un muerto, luego otro y otro más por el sinuoso camino que sale del pueblo.
Porque parece mentira la verdad nunca se sabe ofrece, en la prosa de Daniel Sada, un retrato grotesco y estrambótico del país.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
One of the most ambitious works in Mexican literature, both for its length and its singular style.
In Remadrín, a small desert town, a group of strangers steals the ballot boxes right under the voters’ noses on election day. After the massive protests joined by Salomón and Papías, sons of Trinidad —a greedy and cowardly shopkeeper who opposes the dangerous passions of his children— comes the brutal repression by the army, blocked roads, the dead, the disappeared...
Blunders and misunderstandings also unfold, driven by the sinister mayor Romero Pomar, who refuses to step down. And so, as his fate hangs in the balance and ghosts roam the streets, a swaying cargo truck drops a dead body, then another, and another still, along the winding road that leads out of town.
Porque parece mentira la verdad nunca se sabe, written in Daniel Sada’s distinctive prose, offers a grotesque and extravagant portrait of the country.
