Описание: Sono el telefono y supo que la iban a matar. Lo supo con tanta certeza que se quedo inmovil, la cuchilla en alto, el cabello pegado a la cara entre el vapor del agua caliente que goteaba en los azulejos.

Bip-bip. Se quedo muy quieta, conteniendo el aliento como si la inmovilidad o el silencio pudieran cambiar el curso de lo que ya habia ocurrido.

Bip-bip. Estaba en la banera, depilandose la pierna derecha, el agua jabonosa por la cintura, y su piel desnuda se erizo igual que si acabara de reventar el grifo del agua fria.

Bip-bip. En el estereo del dormitorio, los Tigres del Norte cantaban historias de Camelia la Tejana. La traicion y el contrabando, decian, son cosas compartidas.

La critica ha dicho...

El encuentro de John Le Carre con Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Perez-Reverte tiene un enorme grupo de seguidores que sigue creciendo.

The Wall Street Journal

Es un contador de historias increible.

USA Today

Entretenida como pocas, hermosa por su construccion e inquietante por la grave problematica que late debajo de la aventura criminal. A esta radiografia del delito anade ademas el autor un canto a la propia literatura.

El Cultural

Pasen y lean. El espectaculo esta no solamente servido sino asegurado.

El Pais

Junten el desencanto neorromantico de Barry Gifford con la maestria narrativa de Juan Marse y anadan una banda sonora con el desgarro de Chavela Vargas. El resultado de semejante mezcolanza ya tiene titulo: La Reina del Sur.

El Periodico de Cataluna

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The phone rang and she knew they were going to kill her.

The certainty of it kept her motionless, blade high in the air, hair stuck to her face, a cloud of steam and drops of water cursing down the tiles.

Blip, blip. Frozen, she held her breath as if the stillness, or the silence, could somehow change the course of the past.

Blip, blip. She was sitting in the bathtub, in the middle of shaving her right leg, soapy water rising to her waist, her flesh full of goose-bumps the warm water did nothing to ease.

Blip, blip. In her bedroom, the stereo blasted Los Tigres del Norte singing Camelia la Tejana -betrayal and contraband, they said, are like oil and vinegar. So begins a journey that will transform this innocent barrio beauty into a woman who is tough and powerful enough to write her own rules.

Описание:
Resultado de una larga serie de entrevistas a Sandra Avila, la Reina del Pacifico, este libro contiene el primer testimonio sobre lo que significa nacer, crecer y vivir dentro de la mafia del narcotrafico. Esta mujer-mito le platica a Julio Scherer su historia, en la cual se manifiesta directamente, con todas sus contradicciones, temores y arrebatos. Su voz, ante el periodista y la opinion publica, retumba poderosa, aunque por momentos se exprese a la defensiva, laconica y desalentada.

Gracias al enorme oficio narrativo de quien es considerado el mejor periodista de Mexico, Sandra Avila nos presenta las entranas de ese mundo gobernado por la muerte, pero tambien habla de su intimidad. "Y en lucha por mostrarse duena de si misma" -como escribe Scherer-, resulta contundente: "Me he emborrachado con la vida y he padecido crudas de las que me he levantado. Ahora tropiezo con los muros de mi celda entre la depresion y el animo, medio muerta y medio viva, caida y vuelta a levantar..."

Libro unico en muchos sentidos, La Reina del Pacifico: es la hora de contar se publica en el momento mas trascendental de la guerra contra el narcotrafico. Suministra a los lectores piezas cardinales que le permiten descifrar el rompecabezas de esta violencia sin antecedentes que sufre nuestro pais y que parece no tener fin.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The result of a long series of interviews with Sandra Avila, the "Queen of the Pacific," this book contains the first testimony of what it means to be born, grow up, and live inside the drug cartels. This infamous woman tells Julio Scherer her story, revealing herself directly, with all her contradictions, fears, and outbursts. Her voice, both with the journalist and with public opinion, resounds powerfully, although at times she is defensive, terse, and discouraged.

Thanks to the formidable narrative gift of the man considered the best journalist in Mexico, Sandra Avila shows us the inner depths of this world governed by death, but she also reveals her private side. "And in the fight to show that she was her own master," as Scherer writes, "I have been drunk on life and suffered hangovers from which I've recovered. Now I bump into my cell walls between depression and motivation, half dead and half alive, fallen and newly arisen..."

A unique book in many senses, The Queen of the Pacific: It's Time to Tell is being published in the most significant moment in the war on the drug trade. It provides readers important pieces that will allow them to decipher the puzzle of this unprecedented and seemingly never-ending violence.

Описание: Poetry. Latinx Studies. Winner of a 2019 Foreword INDIES Award for Poetry. Longlisted for the 2020 Best Translated Book Awards. Winner of the 2020 PEN Award for Poetry in Translation. A meditation on the power and limitations of images, THE WINTER GARDEN PHOTOGRAPH began as an homage to a magazine, The Courier, published by UNESCO. Reina Mar a Rodr guez used the magazine's photographs of faraway places to spark an investigation of the mental landscapes comprising her own, contemporary Havana. "I think through / the breath in you; I think through / the blood in you" precisely in striving to inhabit other worlds, she pursues the self. With the original Cuban edition of this book, Rodr guez won her second Casa de las Am ricas Prize for Poetry. This edition includes a set of co-translations by Kristin Dykstra and Nancy Gates Madsen, and an interview with Rodr guez, conducted by Rosa Alcal .
