Almost never, Daniel Sada, Barcelona, Anagram, 2008
This is one of the prominent authors in the Salon du Livre Paris (March 2009), which this year gave the sample to the new Mexican literature, a good opportunity to meet authors like Sada, representatives of which critics have called dirty realism. Violence, sex, erotica and extreme situations.
All this in a realistic frame story which reflects the daily life of Mexico’s most brutal and adversarial. A public interest in a type of reading that had considerable success following the publication of 2666 (2008) by Roberto Bolaño.
This is the story of an agronomist, Demetrio Sordo, who initially presented a humdrum life as an agricultural technician in a ranch of Oaxaca. Nevertheless, he decides to seek sex in a brothel in the vicinity where you will discover Mireya. His mother, concerned that she is not married, I will go to a wedding in Sacramento, where he met Renata, his future wife. To his desire to reconcile the two accounts, the novel will grow to build extreme situations in which the characters will not poderles control. The passages of the brothels are very chromatic and visual masterpieces, however, the history, starting with a very suggestive approach, decays as it progresses, especially in the final resolution.
Include the construction of the narrator, a foreign individual who is rude, funny, incisive, and ironic. It is he who gives reality dirtiest, most rogue and suggestive. We could say that the cleaner, just have some interest.
