by Ricardo Chávez Castañeda (Author)

«He venido porque me dijeron que aquí está mi madre... Una mujer que se cree muerta y me cree muerto.

Cómo fue que Pedro Páramo llegó a convertirse en un rencor vivo? Qué debió ocurrir en su pasado para que su corazón quedara anegado por la avaricia o la cólera o la maldad? Qué era de Comala antes del silencio y la tristeza? Cómo fue que se erosionó hasta el punto de ser un pueblo fantasma, un gigantesco cadáver extendido? Y qué le pasó a la gente que lo habitaba, cómo eran esas vidas antes de la locura, la crueldad y la injusticia? Cómo fueron de niños Damiana, Dolores y los hermanos Rentería? Damasio, Susana y el propio Pedro? Fueron amigos? Se quisieron más allá de la muerte?

Si la novela de Juan Rulfo plantea o murmura estas preguntas, Ricardo Chávez Castañeda se da a la tarea de encararlas y perseguirlas hasta el final. Así ha escrito Y habrá una vez Romala, una novela que responde a la primera, que hurga en todos sus recovecos, que la dobla y desdobla colmándola de nuevos significados. Con un lenguaje cautivador --que combina la meticulosa precisión de la poesía con el aire de contundente ensoñación de los mitos--, Chávez Castañeda nos presenta la historia de Susana y Pedro antes de todo, el descenso de éste a los infiernos en busca de su madre y los distintos caminos de violencia que Pedro Páramo pudo transitar hasta desmoronarse en un montón de piedras. Sólo en uno de esos caminos, en una de esas versiones de sí mismo, Pedro se salva. Porque sólo el amor nos salva.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"I've come because I was told that my mother is here ... A woman we all believed was dead, and who thinks I died, too."

How did Pedro Páramo become so bitter? What happened to harden his heart and consume him with greed, anger and cruelty? What was Comala like before it was gripped by sorrow and silence? How did it fall into decay and become a ghost town? What happened to the people there? What were their lives like before madness, ruthlessness and injustice took hold? What were Damiana, Dolores and the Renterías like as children? And Damasio, Susana and Pedro himself? Were they friends? Did their bonds transcend death?

Ricardo Chávez Castañeda tackles these and other questions stemming from Juan Rulfo's iconic novel, pursuing them to their conclusion. And There Will Be a Time, Romala is a novel written in response to its predecessor, that explores its nooks and crannies, compresses and extends to discover new meanings. Writing in a unique and captivating style that combines the precision of poetry with the evocative language of myth, Chávez Castañeda brings us the story of Susana and Pedro before the plot of the original novel begins. As we witness Pedro's descent into hell to find his mother, we see the different paths he had to choose from before sentencing Comala to ruin. Only on one of those paths, as one version of himself, can Pedro find salvation. Because only love has the power to save us.
