«Hiram Ruvalcaba posee una destreza implacable para fraguar tramas inquietantes y combinar herencias que van del true crime y el g?tico sure?o a la cr?nica latinoamericana o lo rulfiano y arreolesco, pero su escritura es tambi?n algo m?s: un conmovedor testimonio de la masculinidad del siglo xxi intentando dialogar con sus demonios sin hipocres?a y, de ser posible, sin miedo. -Juli?n Herbert
En 1996, Sagrario muri? baleada en la entrada de su residencia; los disparos alertaron a los vecinos, incluyendo a Hiram, el hijo mayor de la familia Ruvalcaba, de apenas ocho a?os. Poco despu?s, en el a?o 2000, tambi?n a Roc?o le arrebataron la vida de forma violenta: fue asesinada y sepultada a medias en la sala de su casa. En 2005, la frontera simb?lica entre un asesinato noticioso, an?nimo, y el de alguien consangu?neo termin? por quebrarse. El Jalisco rural y semiurbano se hab?a convertido en una tolvanera de cad?veres, y uno de ellos era el del t?o Antonio Ruvalcaba. Tres asesinatos, apenas tres muertes entre todas esas que no somos capaces de contabilizar ni de reconocer. A partir de ellas, Hiram Ruvalcaba entreteje una impresionante novela debut que, desde la autoficci?n, lo posiciona como digno heredero de la tradici?n literaria de las tierras de Rulfo y Arreola. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Hiram Ruvalcaba is skilled at crafting unsettling plots and combining influences that range from true crime and Southern Gothic to Latin American chronicle, Juan Rulfo and Juan Jos? Arreola. But his writing is also more than that: It is a moving testimony to twenty-first century masculinity and an attempt to face one's demons head on, without hypocrisy or, if possible, fear." - Juli?n Herbert In 1996, Sagrario was shot to death outside his home. His neighbors rushed to the scene, including 8-year-old Hiram, the eldest of the Ruvalcaba children. Just four years later, in 2000, Roc?o too died a violent death, murdered and half buried in her living room. Finally, in 2005, the symbolic border between unknown, sensationalist killer and blood relative collapses as the body count rises in rural and suburban Jalisco, with Hiram's uncle, Antonio Ruvalcaba, among the victims. Three murders, among countless others that have left a death toll too high to process. Hiram Ruvalcaba uses them as the starting point for this impressive debut, an autobiographical novel that positions him as a worthy heir to a Mexican literary tradition founded by masters such as Rulfo and Arreola.
