Los hijos de la chingada

Julio Enríquez-Ornelas

Por medio de la apropiación en este su primer libro, el autor Julio Enríquez-Ornelas narra en el siglo XXI desde las formas del siglo XIX. El lector se encuentra ante diez folletines que encarnan vidas de este siglo y con formas del pasado. En cada uno, el tiempo, el espacio y el punto de vista del narrador, siguen el ritmo de un inconsciente traumatizado. Gira en torno a tres partes: frontera,vacío, huída.

Critical Storytelling

From this set of critical stories emerges a timely confession from marginalized imagined communities at the physical and metaphorical Mexican-American border. These hybrid storytellers create a multivalence of experiences and genres. Composers of this ground-breaking collection draw readers into an affective connection with the borderlands, offering critical examinations of legal status, gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, social class, family, and health. Additionally, creative representations across genres explore notions of geography, vulnerability, suffering, trauma, pain as well as joy, healing, and love. By posing questions about loss of innocence, they incite new literary and visual spaces for fusing together fragments of the remains of land, body, and/or being, all the while creating a site of fresh confessions where critical stories are illuminated collages assembled together from within la línea.
