Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. En Una de dos, Daniel Sada explora temas como el machismo, la represion sexual, el matrimonio y la doble moral en los entornos conservadores, con un tono entre comico y tragico que lo posiciono como uno de los narradores mas mordaces de la literatura mexicana contemporanea. Las hermanas gemelas Gloria y Constitucion Gamal llevan una vida monotona y sin aspavientos en una ciudad del norte de Mexico. Ambas trabajan en un taller de costura y, aunque ya pasan de los treinta anos, viven juntas y permanecen solteras. Fisicamente identicas, mantienen una complicidad tan profunda que llegan a intercambiar papeles, confundiendo a quienes las rodean. Todo cambia cuando reciben una invitacion a la boda de una prima lejana, ya que solo una de ellas puede asistir debido a compromisos laborales. Quien acude es Gloria. En la celebracion conoce a Oscar Segura, un contador que muestra interes amoroso por ella. Las hermanas juegan a intercambiar identidades, lo que desencadena una especie de triangulo amoroso disfuncional y absurdo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In Una de dos, Daniel Sada explores themes such as machismo, sexual repression, marriage, and double standards within conservative environments, using a tone that moves between comedy and tragedy and established him as one of the sharpest voices in contemporary Mexican literature. The twin sisters Gloria and Constitucion Gamal lead a quiet and uneventful life in a city in northern Mexico. Both work in a sewing workshop and, although they are already in their thirties, they live together and remain unmarried. Physically identical, they share such deep complicity that they often exchange roles, confusing those around them. Everything changes when they receive an invitation to a wedding of a distant cousin, since only one of them can attend due to work obligations. Gloria is the one who goes. At the celebration she meets Oscar Segura, an accountant who develops romantic intentions toward her. The sisters engage in a game of exchanged identities, setting off a dysfunctional and absurd love triangle.
