Description



About the Book



"This is and is not a novel just because fiction sometimes slips into its pages. It is also an autobiographical chronicle that begins with a four-year-old boy dressed in a yellow jacket, who progresses into a young man who is shot on June 10 and ends with a seventy-year-old man who talks with Lâopez Obrador about possible futures of books in Mexico. But it is much more than that, because it is also the chronicle of a generation of Mexican left-wing militants; of their defeats, their crises, their doubts, their favorite poems, their loves and divorces, their horrifying enemies, their favorite movies, their economic disasters, their tenacities, their deaths, their betrayals and their fears. It is, therefore, a book which if you do not want to recognize yourself in it (out of empathy or by chance) nor are you one of the two hundred mentioned by name, nickname or close description, the author is not going to hold you accountable."--Cataloger's translation.



Book Synopsis



Las batallas de una generación que formaron el presente.

«Esto es y no es una novela, porque la ficción a veces se desliza en sus páginas. Es también una crónica autobiográfica que arranca con un niño de cuatro años vestido con una chamarra amarilla, que pasa por un joven al que le disparan un 10 de junio y que termina en un hombre de setenta años que conversa con López Obrador sobre los posibles futuros de los libros en México.

Pero es mucho más que eso, porque además es la crónica de una generación de militantes de izquierda mexicanos; de sus derrotas, sus crisis, sus dudas, sus poemas favoritos, sus amores y divorcios, sus horripilantes enemigos, sus películas predilectas, sus desastres económicos, sus tenacidades, sus muertes, sus traiciones y sus miedos. Es, pues, un libro en el que si no te quieres reconocer en él (por empatía o por casualidad) ni eres uno de los doscientos mencionados por su nombre, apodo o cercana descripción, el autor no te va a pedir cuentas».
Paco Ignacio Taibo II
