Mantra (Spanish Edition)

Rodrigo Fresán

Fiction / Literary

LA NOVELA MEXICANA DE RODRIGO FRESÁN
 
«Pocas novelas tan apasionantes he leído en los últimos años. Con Mantra es con la que más me he reído, la que me ha parecido más virtuosa y al mismo tiempo más gamberra.» —Roberto Bolaño
 
¿Qué tienen en común un nostálgico tumor cerebral, un espectro obsesionado por los luchadores enmascarados y un hipotético androide en busca del creador perdido por un mundo en ruinas?
 
La respuesta a esta interrogante no es simple y requiere que atendamos al menos a tres aspectos esenciales: a) la naturaleza improbable, casi fantástica, de una ciudad como México, Distrito Federal; b) la misteriosa sombra de Martín Mantra, un director de cine prodigio y mesías flamígero a partes iguales, y c) comida picante y aire contaminado, pirámides antiguas y modernos aeropuertos, día de los muertos y noche de los vivos, sangre derramada y tequila en las venas… Una ciudad de novela y la novela de esa ciudad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

RODRIGO FRESÁN’S MEXICAN NOVEL.

“I have read few novels as exciting in recent years. Mantra is the one I have laughed the most with, the one I found more virtuous and at the same time more uncouth.” —Roberto Bolaño
 
What does a nostalgic brain tumor, a specter obsessed with masked wrestlers, and a hypothetical android searching for a missing creator through a world in ruins have in common?
 
The answer to this question is not a simple one and needs us to address at least three essential aspects: a) the improbable, almost fantastic nature of a city like Mexico, Distrito Federal; b) the mysterious shadow of Martín Mantra, a prodigy film director and flamboyant messiah alike, and c) spicy food and polluted air, antient pyramids and modern airports, the day of the dead and the night of the living, spilled blood and tequila in the veins… A city out of a novel, and the novel of that city.
