EÌl nos habiÌa contado que, cuando murioÌ su madre, guardoÌ un anÌo de luto en el que jamaÌs dejoÌ de usar una corbata negra. Yo decidiÌ volver mi luto literario y dediqueÌ el 2015 a un libro que me permitiese recordarlo. A lo largo de diez meses escribiÌ diez ensayos: atendiendo a su condicioÌn de cirujano, al inicio solo sabiÌa que cada uno de ellos deberiÌa hacer referencia a una parte del cuerpo, asiÌ como a sus metaÌforas culturales y poliÌticas. El libro maÌs iÌntimo que he escrito se convirtioÌ tambieÌn en un examen puÌblico: una autopsia de nuestro paiÌs, con especial eÌnfasis en la guerra contra el narcotraÌfico, la desaparicioÌn de los normalistas de Ayotzinapa, el incendio de la guarderiÌa ABC o los problemas derivados de la migracioÌn, y con la presencia de algunas figuras emblemaÌticas de estos anÌos de plomo, en un espectro que se tiende de Marcial Maciel a MamaÌ Rosa. Estas paÌginas aspiran a ser una memoria de mi padre y de mi relacioÌn con eÌl, una divagacioÌn en torno al cuerpo y a nuestro degradado cuerpo social y, en uÌltima instancia, un reÌquiem por este paiÌs miÌo, suyo, nuestro, atestado de fantasmas y cadaÌveres." 520 $a My father died on August 2, 2014. He had told us that when his mother died, he had a year of mourning in which he never stopped wearing a black tie. I decided to return to my literary mourning and I dedicated 2015 to a book that would allow me to remember it. Over the course of ten months I wrote ten essays: considering his status as a surgeon, at first I only knew that each of them should refer to a part of the body, as well as to its cultural and political metaphors. The most intimate book that I have written also became a public examination: an autopsy of our country, with special emphasis on the war against drug trafficking, the disappearance of the Ayotzinapa normalistas, the ABC nursery fire or the problems derived from migration, and with the presence of some emblematic figures of these lead years, in a spectrum that ranges from Marcial Maciel to MamaÌ Rosa. These pages aspire to be a memory of my father and my relationship with him, a rambling around the body and our degraded social body and, ultimately, a requiem for this country of mine, his, ours, crowded with ghosts and corpses. . 650 7 $a AnatomiÌa humana. $2 qlsp 650 7 $a AnatomiÌa comparada. $2 qlsp 650 7 $a Padres $x Muerte. $2 qlsp 650 7 $a Ensayos mexicanos $y Siglo XXI. $2 qlsp 650 0 $a Human anatomy. 650 0 $a Anatomy, Comparative. 650 0 $a Fathers $x Death. 650 0 $a Mexican essays $y 21st century. 651 7 $a MeÌxico $x PoliÌtica y gobierno. $2 qlsp 651 0 $a Mexico $x Politics and government. 655 7 $a Ensayos. $2 qlsp 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210930010340.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B9FFFB0021B311EC937DB3112BECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
