Overview
La Niña Blanca nunca abandona a sus elegidos. Homero Aridjis nos lleva por las sendas tortuosas que crispan el alma en su exploración de los mundos del amor, las mujeres, los perros y la muerte.
Narcotraficantes, políticos, delincuentes, empresarios y policías rinden culto a la Santa Muerte para que los proteja de sus enemigos y les otorgue poder, impunidad y dinero. Durante una fiesta fantástica de 24 horas seguidas, donde todo está permitido, hay quienes están dispuestos incluso a ofrecer víctimas para que sus deseos se cumplan.
Los relatos que integran este volumen harán que el lector transite por mundos densos, bizarros e inquietantes por su extremo parecido con el mundo que llamamos real, donde a veces el perro que llevamos dentro chilla en un cuarto oscuro y el viejo que dormita en un asilo se niega a que el deseo muera.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The White Girl never abandons her chosen ones.
Homero Aridjis leads us down tortuous paths that tighten the soul as he explores the worlds of love, women, dogs, and death.
Drug traffickers, politicians, criminals, businessmen, and police officers worship Holy Death, asking her to protect them from their enemies and grant them power, impunity, and money. During a fantastical party that lasts twenty-four uninterrupted hours, where anything goes, there are those willing even to offer victims so that their desires may be fulfilled.
The stories that make up this volume will lead the reader through dense, bizarre, and unsettling worlds, disturbingly similar to the one we call real—where at times the dog within us yelps in a dark room, and the old man dozing in a nursing home refuses to let desire die.
