Three Novels Zusammenfassung

Three Novels: Kingdom Cons, Signs Preceding the End of the World, The Transmigration of Bodies Yuri Herrera

The Mexico we hear of in the news - the drug cartels, migration and senseless violence - is rich soil for Herrera's moving stories of people who live in this reality but also live in the timeless realm of myth, epic and fairy tale, such as the singer Lobo in Kingdom Cons who loves the drug lord's own daughter, Makina who crosses borders to find her brother in Signs Preceding the End of the World, and the Redeemer, a hard-boiled hero looking to broker peace between feuding families during a pandemic in The Transmigration of Bodies. These three novels get to the heart of the matter in a truly original way. They are storytelling that is at once timely and timeless.

Three Novels Bewertungen

'Language itself seems to be invested with a strange demiurgic force. Herrera's style - both precise and elusive, specific and elliptical - is uncannily well suited to depict the in-between state his characters inhabit.' Tony Wood, LRB ---- 'Herrera shuns proper names of people and places: Mexico City is the Big Chilango, characters bear names such as the Artist, the Witch, and Mr. Q. His ghostly landscapes are reminiscent of Rulfo's in the iconic novel Pedro Paramo, but his characters are even more ethereal. Many are up to no good, delivering packages whose contents we can only guess at, trying to avoid falling into vast sinkholes and the jails of La Migra. The bad guys speak as if in a Peckinpah film. [...] The [three novels are] even more powerful read together. A welcome gathering of centrifugal works by one of Mexico's most accomplished contemporary writers.' Kirkus Reviews, starred review
