Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Las ficciones tragicomicas reunidas en este libro tienen un comun denominador: la irrupcion de una voluntad avasalladora en las vidas de hombres y mujeres vulnerables que renacen o se desmoronan bajo el influjo de sus fantasmas. En que se transforman los seres proclives a dejarse invadir, ya sea en la entrega amorosa, en la idolatria, o en la sumision a un artifice traicionero? Siete cuentos de humor negro relatan ese apocalipsis intimo desde el ojo de la tormenta. Con una voz narrativa que va de la empatia a la ironia, de la satira a la tesitura sentimental del bolero, Enrique Serna cuenta la cruel anagnorisis de un yonqui frances, el amargo crepusculo de un donjuan provinciano, la disputa de una pareja mal avenida por el carino de su adorable mascota, la zozobra de un apostol de la ensenanza enamorado de su mejor alumna, la devocion patologica de una empleadilla unida en espiritu a una diva de Hollywood, las angustias de un ombusdman trastornado por una inyeccion de autoestima erotica y el colapso de una abuela en brama cuando invade su lecho la polarizacion politica del pais. La comedia de las pasiones narrada por un encantador de serpientes. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The seriocomic stories gathered in this book have a common denominator: the irruption of an overwhelming desire in the lives of vulnerable men and women who are either reborn or crumble under the weight of the ghosts haunting them. As their ghosts take over, they are transformed, either surrendering to love, or yielding to treachery. Seven dark humor tales look at different intimate apocalypses. With narrative voices ranging from empathy to irony, from satire to a bolero-like sentimental texture, Enrique Serna describes the cruel self-recognition trip of a French junkie, the bitter twilight of a provincial Don Juan, the struggles of a couple fighting for the affection of their adorable pet, the anxieties of a teacher who falls in love with his best student, the pathological devotion of a simple employee who feels united in spirit with a Hollywood diva, the anguish of an ombudsman who gets an unusual shot of erotic self-esteem, and the emotional crumbling of an old lady when the political polarization of her country makes its way to her bed. This book is a collection of seriocomical tales, as told by a snake charmer. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: New. Las caricaturas me hacen llorar is a selection of essays in which Enrique Serna exercises criticism without restrictions, with the casual tone of a conversation between friends. As in the tragicomic ballad by Queta Garay that gives the book its title, the desire to observe cultural and political life beyond appearances awakens a mixture of feelings that go from derision to nausea and from perplexity to grimace.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Ganador del Premio Xavier Villarrutia 2019.No pedia mucho, carajo, solo que lo dejaran prostituirse a su modo. A mediados del siglo XX, Carlos Denegri era el lider de opinion mas influyente de Mexico. Reportero estrella del diario Excelsior, tenia una red de contactos internacionales envidiada por todos los periodistas. Mimado por el poder, como columnista politico sobresalio por su falta de escrupulos, al grado de que Julio Scherer lo llamo "el mejor y el mas vil de los reporteros". Industrializo el "chayote" cuando esa palabra todavia no se usaba en la jerga politica. En su Fichero Politico, donde fungia como vocero extraoficial de la Presidencia y cobraba todas las menciones, podia difamar a cualquiera con impunidad absoluta. Segun Carlos Monsivais, un coscorron en esa columna representaba "una temporada en el infierno" para cualquier aspirante a un cargo publico. Aunque ganaba millones por publicar alabanzas, se hizo mas rico aun por medio de la extorsion, callandose lo que sabia de sus poderosos clientes. La personalidad publica de Carlos Denegri es indisociable de las atroces vejaciones misoginas que cometio en su vida privada. Era tan prepotente y despota en el trato con las mujeres como en el periodismo, de modo que su patologia fue a la vez intima y social. Radiografia del machismo a la mexicana y epitafio de la dictadura perfecta, esta novela es un estudio de caracter incisivo y mordaz, sustentado en un arduo trabajo de investigacion, que por momentos linda con la farsa tragica. Enrique Serna vuelve a una de sus vetas narrativas predilectas, la reconstruccion del pasado, para entregarnos un fresco historico apasionante. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONWinner of the Xavier Villaurrutia Award 2019.He wasnt asking much, damn it, just to be allowed to prostitute himself in his own way. In the mid-20th century, Carlos Denegri was the most influential opinion leader in Mexico. Star reporter for the Excelsior, he had an international network of contacts envied by journalists everywhere. Spoiled by power, as a political columnist he stood out for his lack of scruples, to the extent that Julio Scherer called him the best and most vile of reporters. He industrialized the chayote payoff when that word wasnt yet used in political slang. In his Political File, he acted as the unofficial spokesperson for the Presidency and could slander anyone with absolute impunity. According to Carlos Monsivais, a wallop in that column represented a season in hell for any contender for public office. Although he earned millions for publishing praise, he became even richer through extortion, hiding what he knew about his powerful clients. Carlos Denegris public persona is inseparable from the atrocious misogynistic harassment he committed in his private life. He was as tyrannical and despotic in his treatment toward women as he was in journalism; his pathology was both intimate and social. An x-ray of Mexican machismo and an epitaph of the perfect dictatorship, this novel is a sharp, scathing character study supported by an arduous investigation, which at times borders on a tragic farce. Enrique Serna returns to one of his favorite narrative veins, the reconstruction of the past, to bring us a thrilling historical portrait.
