About the Book

Un legado invaluable que nos invita a seguir leyendo, escribiendo y soñando.

En la pieza que da título a este volumen (premio Xavier Villaurrutia), Jorge, un muchacho que no entiende por qué la vida es como es, crece en una sociedad de doble moral cuyas contradicciones se acentúan a medida que lo consume el amor por una joven mayor que él. A esta novela corta siguen los cuentos «La zarpa», donde una mujer confiesa a un sacerdote las decisiones que tomó en el pasado; «La fiesta brava», que narra la vida de un infravalorado escritor que recibe una última oportunidad; «Langerhaus», en el que el misterio persigue a un difunto que nadie parece recordar; «Tenga para que se entretenga», donde el mismo lector debe atar cabos para resolver el caso de un niño desaparecido y, finalmente, «Cuando salí de La Habana, válgame Dios», en el cual un nervioso agente de ventas se enamora en un viaje en altamar.

Este libro inclasificable deambula por la fantasía, la literatura policiaca, la novela de crecimiento, el realismo y el simbolismo, y al hacerlo, nos confirma por qué la obra de José Emilio Pacheco es universal.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An invaluable legacy that invites us to continue reading, writing and dreaming.

In the title piece of this volume (Xavier Villaurrutia Prize), Jorge, a boy who does not understand why life is the way it is, grows up in a society of double standards whose contradictions are accentuated as he is consumed by love for a young woman older than him. This short novel is followed by the stories "La zarpa", where a woman confesses to a priest the decisions she made in the past; "La fiesta brava" (Bullfighting), which narrates the life of an underrated writer who receives one last chance; "Langerhaus", in which mystery haunts a deceased person that no one seems to remember; «Tenga para que se entretenga» (Have to Keep You Entertained), where the same reader must connect the dots to solve the case of a missing child and, finally, «Cuando salí de La Habana, válgame Dios» (When I left Havana, God Bless Me), in which a nervous sales agent falls in love on a trip on the high seas.

This unclassifiable book wanders through fantasy, detective literature, the coming-of-age novel, realism and symbolism, and in doing so, confirms why José Emilio Pacheco's work is universal.
