LA NOVELA MEXICANA DE RODRIGO FRES???N Una radiograf???a de M???xico D.F., ciudad novela, vista a trav???s de los ojos de sus fren???ticos protagonistas encabezados por Mart???n Mantra, director de cine y miembro de una demencial familia mexicana abducida por una telenovela. ???Pocas novelas tan apasionantes he le???do en los ???ltimos a???os. Con Mantra es con la que m???s me he re???do, la que me ha parecido m???s virtuosa y al mismo tiempo m???s gamberra.??? --Roberto Bola???o ???Qu??? tienen en com???n un nost???lgico tumor cerebral, un espectro obsesionado por los luchadores enmascarados y un hipot???tico androide en busca del creador perdido por un mundo en ruinas? La respuesta a esta interrogante no es simple y requiere que atendamos al menos a tres aspectos esenciales: a) la naturaleza improbable, casi fant???stica, de una ciudad como M???xico, Distrito Federal; b) la misteriosa sombra de Mart???n Mantra, un director de cine prodigio y mes???as flam???gero a partes iguales, y c) comida picante y aire contaminado, pir???mides antiguas y modernos aeropuertos, d???a de los muertos y noche de los vivos, sangre derramada y tequila en las venas... Una ciudad de novela y la novela de esa ciudad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION RODRIGO FRES???N'S MEXICAN NOVEL. "I have read few novels as exciting in recent years. Mantra is the one I have laughed the most with, the one I found more virtuous and at the same time more uncouth." --Roberto Bola???o What does a nostalgic brain tumor, a specter obsessed with masked wrestlers, and a hypothetical android searching for a missing creator through a world in ruins have in common? The answer to this question is not a simple one and needs us to address at least three essential aspects: a) the improbable, almost fantastic nature of a city like Mexico, Distrito Federal; b) the mysterious shadow of Mart???n Mantra, a prodigy film director and flamboyant messiah alike, and c) spicy food and polluted air, antient pyramids and modern airports, the day of the dead and the night of the living, spilled blood and tequila in the veins... A city out of a novel, and the novel of that city.
