La violencia más allá de los ríos
La literatura tiene la función transformadora de habitarnos en la palabra. Ahí nos desgarra y nos devuelve conscientes del dolor que no es nuestro, pero nos pertenece. Estos relatos reconstruyen la memoria desde la entraña porque no hay mayor cercanía que sentirse lejos. Las y los autores de origen mexicano que radican en tierras canadienses muestran la herida viva de la violencia estructural que, sutil, encuentran su fuerza en la construcción de una cultura excluyente y depredadora, que normaliza la farsa y el exterminio.

Plaza Requiem
"Mexican-Canadian Martha Bátiz has crafted, in her first collection written in English, visceral stories with piercing and evocative qualities.

Yet her stories shimmer with the emotional surge of vindication, evoking the rewards women attain after a powerful exploration of their darkest moments.

El Monstruo is a defense of place and the history of that place. No one has told the gritty, vibrant histories of this city of 23 million faceless souls from the ground up, listened to the stories of those who have not been crushed, deconstructed the Monstruo's very monstrousness, and lived to tell its secrets. In El Monstruo, Ross now does.
