Opis

Aurora is an asphalt siren who conquers the fauns hidden behind the forest of enchanted buildings: sometimes she is desired, sometimes she is an accomplice of a crime. She is a portrait of human misery, she is a living specter that wanders through the conscience of men. Throughout the pages, the author narrates Aurora's microcosm, she presents us with a multiplicity of characters that transpose with the different facets of her life. The story takes place in contemporary Mexico, in the comings and goings of the city and a town called Aserradero. The different characters that appear in it are mirrors that reflect everyday life, the street, work, or are cloistered in our home. Aurora is a tremendist text, a collage that talks about poverty, double standards, conjugal violence and love. This text is dialogue encapsulated within a collective healing process. The pages will weep with their punishment. The reader will whisper the secrets; he or she will become an accomplice or an executioner. When you find yourself inside this catharsis, I advise you not to be surprised if suddenly one of the characters reflects the silhouette of your face.
