Book Synopsis



Este libro contiene las novelas breves La casa junto al río, Y Matarazo no llamó..., Inés, Un corazón en un bote de basura, Busca mi esquela, Primer amor y Un traje rojo para un duelo.

«Si de unos años para acá estamos releyendo la historia literaria con nuevos ojos, habría que releer estas novelas con esos mismos, para darles su justo lugar en la obra de Garro y en la literatura de su tiempo, lejos de los prejuicios que las circundan. Si Garro está llegando a las manos de más y más personas, quizás estas novelas por fin dejen de ser un apéndice de su obra y pasen a ser disfrutadas y apreciadas por lectoras y lectores frecuentes y esporádicos, por gusto propio y por asignatura, en México entero y en el mundo.» -Del prólogo de Jazmina Barrera

«Así como resulta erróneo acercarse a la producción literaria de Elena Garro desde la perspectiva del realismo mágico, es necesario leer y releer estas novelas bajo la óptica de una mujer, de una escritora, cuyo interés por la búsqueda de diversas formas de expresión literaria asume sus riesgos y la mayoría de las veces resulta lo suficientemente bien lograda como para ofrecer una de las escrituras más originales, auténticas e inimitables de la literatura hispánica de todos los tiempos.» -De la nota del editor Álvaro Álvarez Delgado

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This book contains the short novels The House by the River, Matarazo Didn't Call..., Inés, A Heart in a Garbage Can, Look for my Obituary, First Love, and A Red Suit for a Duel.

«If for years now we've been rereading the history of literature with new eyes, we should reread these novels with those same eyes, to give them their rightful place in Garros universe and in the literature of her time, far from the prejudices around them. If Garro is arriving to the hands of more and more people, perhaps these novels can no longer be an appendix of her work and will be enjoyed and appreciated by frequent and occasional readers, whether for their pleasure or as a pending subject, in Mexico and in the whole world. » -From Jazmina Barrera's Prologue

«Just as it is wrong to approach the literary production of Elena Garro from the perspective of magical realism, it is necessary to read and reread these novels from the point of view of a woman, a writer, whose interest in the search for various forms of literary expression assumes its risks and, most of the time, a risk well enough achieved to offer one of the most original, authentic and inimitable writings of the Hispanic Literature of all time.» -From Álvaro Álvarez Delgado Editor's Note
