Recollections of Things to Come Paperback / softback
by Elena Garro
Illustrated by Alberto Beltran
Part of the Texas Pan American Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
This remarkable first novel depicts life in the small Mexican town of Ixtepec during the grim days of the Revolution.
The town tells its own story against a variegated background of political change, religious persecution, and social unrest.
Elena Garro, who has also won a high reputation as a playwright, is a masterly storyteller.
Although her plot is dramatically intense and suspenseful, the novel does not depend for its effectiveness on narrative continuity.
It is a book of episodes, one that leaves the reader with a series of vivid impressions.
The colors are bright, the smells pungent, the many characters clearly drawn in a few bold strokes.
Octavio Paz, the distinguished poet and critic, has written that it "is truly an extraordinnary work, one of the most perfect creations in contemporary Latin American literature."
