Synopsis

"The Belly of Tepozteco José Agustín’s work is wide-ranging in register, accomplished, and variegated. Proof of this is that The Belly of Tepozteco, a book meant for a young audience, can nevertheless be fully enjoyed by an adult reader. Under the guise of an adventure novel, The Belly of Tepozteco explores the continued existence of pre-Columbian myths as seen through the eyes of six city kids—Tor, Homero, Érika, Alain, Selene and Yanira. The characters discover that the gods of the old Aztec pantheon have taken refuge in the heart of the mountain, and the children’s presence and entrance into the sanctuary will unleash a war among the deities: some, like Tona, will try to protect them; others will attempt to sacrifice them, forsaking the teachings of Quetzalcóatl. José Agustín narrates the kid’s adventures with amazing ease: his ability to depict the teenage world—an almost childlike universe—and intertwine it with old traditions is wondrous. "
