Summary:
En 1996, Sagrario murió baleada en la entrada de su residencia; los disparos alertaron a los vecinos, incluyendo a Hiram, el hijo mayor de la familia Ruvalcaba, de apenas ocho años. Poco después, en el año 2000, también a Rocío le arrebataron la vida de forma violenta: fue asesinada y sepultada a medias en la sala de su casa. En 2005, la frontera simbólica entre un asesinato noticioso, anónimo, y el de alguien consanguíneo terminó por quebrarse. El Jalisco rural y semiurbano se había convertido en una tolvanera de cadáveres, y uno de ellos era el del tío Antonio Ruvalcaba. Tres asesinatos, apenas tres muertes entre todas esas que no somos capaces de contabilizar ni de reconocer. A partir de ellas, Hiram Ruvalcaba entreteje una impresionante novela debut que, desde la autoficción, lo posiciona como digno heredero de la tradición literaria de las tierras de Rulfo y Arreola.
"In 1996, Sagrario was shot to death outside his home. His neighbors rushed to the scene, including 8-year-old Hiram, the eldest of the Ruvalcaba children. Just four years later, in 2000, Rocío too died a violent death, murdered and half buried in her living room. Finally, in 2005, the symbolic border between unknown, sensationalist killer and blood relative collapses as the body count rises in rural and suburban Jalisco, with Hiram's uncle, Antonio Ruvalcaba, among the victims. Three murders, among countless others that have left a death toll too high to process. Hiram Ruvalcaba uses them as the starting point for this impressive debut, an autobiographical novel that positions him as a worthy heir to a Mexican literary tradition founded by masters such as Rulfo and Arreola." -- Provided by publisher.
