by Yol Segura (Author)

Con un lenguaje estético audaz que rompe los moldes tradicionales, Vimos casas hundirse es una novela de iniciación a la disidencia amorosa, sexual y familiar, una reconstrucción sobre cómo el poder político y económico van tramando sus redes para enmarañar nuestro futuro. Una novela hermosa , --Juan Pablo Villalobos.

A principios de los años noventa, la construcción de la presa hidroeléctrica en Zimapán, Querétaro, irrumpió como un símbolo de los nuevos tiempos, pero también llegó con la amenaza de dejar bajo el agua a comunidades enteras... Varios años después, I --quien era una niña cuando se construyó esa presa-- regresa al hogar de su infancia tras una inundación. Mientras ayuda a su madre con la limpieza, se desbordan momentos de su historia, como la sofocante relación con su entorno, la rebeldía juvenil, la necesidad de forjar una identidad propia, las relaciones amorosas y sexuales y, por encima de todo, el deseo de deshacerse de la Irene que fue para convertirse en I , una versión de sí misma que no carga con el peso de las expectativas de su familia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

With bold, aesthetic language that breaks with traditional narrative forms, Vimos casas hundirse (We Watched Houses Sink) is "a novel of initiation into romantic, sexual, and familial dissent, a reconstruction of how political and economic power quietly weaves the web of our future. A beautiful novel," --Juan Pablo Villalobos.

In the early 1990s, construction of a hydroelectric dam in Zimapán, Querétaro, emerged as a symbol of new times, but it also came with the threat of submerging entire communities... Years later, I--who was a little girl when the dam was built--returns to her childhood home after a flood. As she helps her mother clean, memories overflow: the suffocating relationship with her surroundings, teenage rebellion, the need to forge her own identity, romantic and sexual experiences, and above all, the desire to shed the Irene she once was in order to become "I"--a version of herself free from the weight of family expectations.
