Overview
Cuando llega el momento de enfrentar el destino, la vida puede definirse con una sola palabra. Juriel y Santos la comparten: venganza. Tras un cruento ataque de la banda enemiga, el pasado compartido se bifurca: Juriel buscará refundar su identidad y Santos intentará extender la suya. Un tercer personaje terminará por definir el futuro: Maca, una mujer capaz de cuestionar los mandatos invisibles que atan a los personajes.
En Yo soy el otoño, Jorge Alberto Gudiño afila con manos de artesano los verbos y los adjetivos necesarios para narrar un western urbano. El territorio de la barranca podría pertenecer a la Ciudad de México o a cualquier otra urbe suficientemente grande para tener periferias anónimas. Un escenario del drama en donde vidas fugaces, como las de Tito, Eusebio, Racemo o el Huicho, alimentan a la gran hidra del crimen y la miseria.
Con el ritmo de un paso redoblado in crescendo, esta novela se sumerge en las notas más oscuras de la lealtad y la ambición para obligar al lector a cuestionar sus propias nociones de bien y mal, abriendo un camino con una sola dirección.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“At some point this afternoon, while I was hitting Chris, you decided I wasn’t worth it and betrayed me to Tito. You saved me from one bastard and left me with another.”
When the moment comes to face fate, a single word can decide everything. For Juriel and Santos, that word is revenge. After a savage attack by a rival gang, their destinies diverge. While Juriel seeks to rebuild his identity, Santos tries to impose his. A third person become pivotal in their future: Maca, a woman who questions the invisible hierarchies binding them together.
In I Am the Fall, Jorge Alberto Gudiño skillfully sharpens the verbs and adjectives he needs for this urban western. La Barranca could be part of Mexico City or the non-descript outskirts of any other metropolis. It serves as the setting for a drama in which Tito, Eusebio, Racemo, El Huicho and other fleeting characters perpetuate a cycle of poverty and crime.
This fast-paced novel explores the darkest consequences of loyalty and ambition, forcing readers to examine their own notions of right and wrong.
