Una obra cumbre de la narrativa mexicana, esta pieza es indispensable en la obra de Ibargüengoitia.
Cargado de ironÃa y una mirada única, Jorge Ibargüengoitia exhibe en esta colección de textos la inexplicable lógica detrás de la vida en este paÃs: los ridÃculos rituales de la burocracia; lo extraordinariamente inútil que resulta la tecnologÃa nacional; el interminable examen de conciencia que un ciudadano común tiene que hacerse antes de decidir por quién votar; y las peculiares maneras de los mexicanos para dar malas noticias o presentar a dos extraños.
En México el absurdo se revela como cosa de todos los dÃas.
Instrucciones para vivir en México es una espléndida muestra de la capacidad crÃtica y humorÃstica de un autor imprescindible para la literatura hispanoamericana.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A pinnacle of Mexican narrative, this piece is indispensable in Ibargüengoitia's work.
Loaded with irony and a unique perspective, Jorge Ibargüengoitia showcases in this collection of texts the inexplicable logic behind life in this country: the ridiculous rituals of bureaucracy; how extraordinarily useless national technology is; the endless soul-searching a common citizen must do before deciding whom to vote for; and the peculiar ways Mexicans give bad news or introduce strangers.
In Mexico, the absurd reveals itself as an everyday occurrence.
Instrucciones para vivir en México is a splendid example of the critical and humorous capacity of an indispensable author for Hispanic American literature.
