by José Agustín (Author), Brenda Navarro (Prologue by)

«Cuando digo que el escritor ha ganado, lo que estoy diciendo férreamente es que nos habita, que dialoga con la literatura actual, que es parte de nosotres y que no tiene miedo de persistir porque siempre supo que toda realidad se expande. -Brenda Navarro

Irónica, desencantada y llena de humor, esta novela relata la vida de Gabriel Guía, un adolescente extraviado y cínico, hijo de una familia acomodada, cuyos únicos intereses verdaderos son la escritura y la música. Con ella se inauguró un nuevo ciclo de la literatura mexicana, en la que los jóvenes, su lenguaje y su furia tienen un peso central y decisivo, y de la cual José Agustín es un exponente indiscutible. La tumba es una de las obras esenciales de la literatura mexicana del siglo XX.

Esta edición incluye fotografías inéditas del escritor y conversaciones sobre los momentos más significativos de su vida con familiares, amistades cercanas y escritores: su viaje a Cuba, su participación en el taller literario de Juan José Arreola, la publicación de La tumba, la relación con su esposa, amigos y hermanos, su paso por Lecumberri.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"When I say that the author has won, I mean that he inhabits us, is in dialogue with current literature, is part of us, and is not afraid to persist, because he knows that reality is constantly expanding." -Brenda Navarro

Ironic, disenchanted and funny, this novel is the story of Gabriel Guía, a wayward and cynical teenager from a wealthy family whose only real interests are music and writing. It launched a new phase in Mexican literature in which young people, their language and their fury play a central and decisive role. José Agustín is a main protagonist of this genre, and The Tomb is essential reading in twentieth-century Mexican literature.

This edition includes never-before-seen photographs of the author and conversations with his family, close friends and fellow writers about the events that shaped his life: his trip to Cuba; the literary workshop led by Juan José Arreola; publication of The Tomb; his relationship with his wife, siblings and friends; and his time in Mexico's Lecumberri Prison.
