La lejanía del tesoro
Paco Ignacio Taibo II
FICTION | 2011 | 344 pages
Neither the itinerant president of Mexico, Benito Juárez, nor his fellow fugitive and astute chronicler, Guillermo Prieto, knew the troubles that would be unleashed by that attack on a remote village in Durango, while they were fleeing from the imperial and French forces. Neither the guerrilla fighter and poet Vicente Riva Palacio (who besides being fierce, was also the importer of the saxophone) knew the hunt that would be unleashed against him for having left Puebla one night in command of the cavalry. Nor did General Escobedo know that he would cross countries as if they were puddles... Nobody knew, but everyone was talking about the treasure. Damned country of rumors.

“Taibo writes with genuine savy, a crackling wit, and a certain zaniness that is his very own. Once we pick up the strange but beguiling rhythms of his narrative style, we begin to understand that Taibo is a storyteller of real genius.”
