Overview

«Entre los rotos nos reconocemos fácilmente. Nos atraemos y repelemos en igual medida. Conformamos un gremio triste y derrotado. Somos la aldea que se fundó junto al volcán, la ciudad que se alzó sobre terreno inestable.»

Una joven encuentra la colección de fotos de su hermano menor. No entiende por qué Julián decidió conservar esas imágenes. No retratan momentos particularmente alegres, por el contrario, casi todas pueden verse como la antesala de una catástrofe doméstica. Pensándolo bien, eso fue su infancia en Veracruz: la antesala y las secuelas de una catástrofe continua, la construcción minuciosa de las ruinas que son ella, su hermano y su madre. Su padre, un hombre imprevisible y violento, los lastimaba a la más arbitraria provocación. Julián, sin embargo, siempre se llevó la peor parte, por lo que en cierto momento, alzó una muralla de silencio para protegerse a si mismo. Pero el silencio tiene la capacidad de contaminarlo todo con su propia forma de violencia.

Esta novela es el intento de reconstrucción del rompecabezas o el albúm fotográfico que es toda memoria. La hermana mayor sabe que no puede contar una historia feliz a partir de estas imágenes, podrá contar al menos una historia verosímil? 2 Y quién es el gran ausente en este relato, Julián o ella misma? ¿Logró escapar a tiempo del naufragio?

Con una prosa impecable, tan emotiva como precisa, Entre los rotos nos recuerda que somos nuestra memoria y ésta es un caleidoscopio, que tiene mucho más de roto que de colorido.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"This is a novel about the intimacy of violence, about the complicity between siblings and about the labyrinth, whether gloomy or bright, that every memory is.

The narrator, who is also the main character, finds a group of photographs that had been kept by her younger brother who is now deceased. She doesn’t really understand why Julián decided to keep these photos as they are neither items of proof nor memories of happy moments. Each one portrays the immediate prelude or epilogue to one of the many small family disasters that occurred during their childhood. Their father was a violent man, and at a certain time in his life he started to beat them on a regular basis. Julián always bore the brunt of these beatings. His father would put out cigarettes on his arms or his body would be left black and blue from the beatings. Then one day, he just stopped speaking. Silence was his response to the violence.
