by Juan Jos? Arreola (Author)

Un recorrido por Zapotl?n el Grande de la mano de sus habitantes


Arreola, uno de los mejores escritores de ficci?n breve de M?xico, nos ofrece en La feria, un texto fenomenal que pertenece al g?nero de los Apocalipsis de bolsillo. Sus p?ginas recogen fragmentos, textuales o deformados, de la m?s variada tradici?n oral y escrita, procedente sobre todo de Ezequiel y de Isa?as, de los Ap?crifos, del cartulario colonial y de los anales de un pueblo imaginado al sur de Jalisco. Se trata en realidad de puros recuerdos de infancia, de cosas le?das, vistas y o?das, puestas unas tras otra, al azar.


La fidelidad a los giros populares y el realismo m?gico de ciertos personajes son tal vez las mejores cualidades de este libro desordenado, m?ltiple y singular, breve y abundante.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


A Journey Through Zapotl?n el Grande with Its Inhabitants


Arreola, one of Mexico's finest short fiction writers, presents us with La feria (The Fair ), a phenomenal text that belongs to the genre of Pocket Apocalypses. Its pages gather fragments, either verbatim or altered, from the most varied oral and written traditions, mainly from Ezekiel and Isaiah, the Apocrypha, colonial cartularies, and the annals of an imagined town in southern Jalisco. In reality, it consists purely of childhood memories, things read, seen, and heard, placed one after another at random.


The fidelity to popular expressions and the magical realism of certain characters are perhaps the best qualities of this disordered, multifaceted, and singular book, both brief and abundant.
