Doña Eustolia blandió el cuchillo cebollero
Paco Ignacio Taibo II
SHORT STORIES | 2003 | 192 pages
Doña Eustolia brandished her kitchen knife to attack a strikebreaker woh she immediately frightened away, thus marking Taibo's first military victory as a union leader. This and other stories shape what the arrival of a segment of the 1968 generation meant for the factory world in Mexico City, where they took part in the reorganization of the labor movement. Narrated with biting humor, a touch of malice, and a down-to-earth, almost epic quality, these tales reconstruct a struggle and a nostalgia that some have tried to conceal.
