Tlapalería

July 19, 2023

La gente le llegaba a la abuela a través de los perros. Una gente con perro era ya un poco perro y por lo tanto, digna de atención.

Ocho relatos de vida sobre variados temas, retratos de la sociedad mexicana, tan realistas, que en más de uno identificas a algún conocido. Una tragedia contada a ritmo de chisme, una vida de adicciones, la alcurnia de una familia demostrada en su habilidad para comer alcachofas, el recuento de una infidelidad, el buen corazón de una protectora de los perros, el despertar bisexual o acaso embrujo de una señorona y la soledad redefinida por el canto de un canario.

It started with a book. “La Noche de Tlatelolco” or “The Night of Tlatelolco.”

The book chronicles the massacre of hundreds of student protesters by the Mexican army in 1968 and gathers the voices of witnesses. The students were killed in Mexico City just days before the city hosted the Summer Olympics, and during a time of worldwide student revolts.

I was 16 when I first read the book by pioneering Mexican journalist Elena Poniatowska. It was many years after the massacre. I didn’t really understand what a journalist was. But I felt the power of the words. The book was one of the few reports that contradicted Mexican authorities’ official story about the killings. I was moved.

A few years later, I read Poniatowska’s “Hasta no verte Jesus mio” or “Here’s to You, Jesusa!” The book is about a working-class Mexican woman who witnesses some of the most important events of early 20th century Mexican history. Jesusa was a soldadera toward the end of the Mexican revolution in the 1920s—cooking and working for Mexican soldie
