Infancia E Invención / Youth and Invention [Spanish]

By Carmen Boullosa

"Es dif cil encontrar en la literatura mexicana contempor nea una personalidad tan brillante y compleja como la de Carmen Boullosa".-Christopher Dom nguez Michael

En los relatos de Infancia e invenci n, el primero de los vol menes que compendia la obra novel stica de Carmen Boullosa, el viaje a la ni ez simboliza m s que un retorno al origen. En Antes y Treinta a os, tenemos el inquietante umbral hacia el mundo adulto en una mirada inocente, que en Mejor desaparece adquiere tintes de pesadilla. En La novela perfecta, As pens el ni o y La milagrosa opera la noci n m gica del mundo que es privilegio de la infancia. Y en Texas, la invenci n con rigor documental alienta la cr tica impermeable a los dictados de la historia oficial.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The first of two anthologies which compile the best works of Carmen Boullosa, one of the most notable and prolific authors of contemporary Mexican literature.

In these stories, the return to childhood is much more than just a return to the past: it is proof of a creative sensitivity, originality, of a magical notion of the world; also, a return to a clear and innocent way of seeing things, therefore, critical and resistant to the ideologies and decrees of the official story.

Antes / Before, included in this volume, was distinguished with the prestigious Xavier Villaurrutia Award and placed Carmen Boullosa as one of the most important authors in Mexican literature.
