Fernando del Paso

Noticias del Imperio

José Trigo

Palinuro de México es una monumental parodia donde todo parece excesivo, una novela polifónica que se vale de la lengua, la cultura y la recreación de todos los mundos imaginables para ofrecer una narración que mantiene una relación ambivalente con la historia reciente de México. Aunque puede leerse como una novela política, reflejo del espíritu revolucionario juvenil que floreció en México en los años sesenta, también se trata de un artefacto artístico de una gran exuberancia narrativa, que parece alejarse de la historia para encerrarse en un deslumbrante ejercicio verbal.

Like those writers to whom he has been compared--Fuentes, Garcia Marquez, James Joyce, and Rabelais--del Paso draws upon myth, science, and world literature to expand his particular story to universal proportions. Telling the story of a medical medical student who's engaged in an incestuous affair with his cousin, the novel satirizes advertising, politics, pornography, and mythology, while at the same time celebrating the body with a thoroughness that only a student of medicine could manage.

La muerte se va a Granada presents Fernando del Paso as a dramaturge and biographer. With an incredible capacity for synthesis and a sensitive writing, del Paso leads the reader to imagine the last days of Federico Garca Lorca. In a masterful way, the two acts and big finale amalgam the real and the oneiric, making a well-deserved tribute, originally written and represented in the Spanish authors birth centenary, and that now FCE incorporates on its catalog.
