«El resplandor de la madera debe entenderse como una novela excepcional en el ámbito de la narrativa mexicana. --JoaquÃn Marco El resplandor de la madera es la historia de Casares, un mexicano de origen socioeconómico bajo que, marcado por las aspiraciones inculcadas por su madre, emprende sus estudios y su vida profesional intentando salir de la miseria y la ignorancia sin perderse en el camino, que es exactamente lo que le sucedió a su padre, quien tras invertir en negocios imposibles perdió su fortuna, su identidad y su familia. Pero el genial Aguilar CamÃn va mucho más allá de esta lograda y desgarradora historia individual y combina las desventuras de Casares con la historia de sus antepasados y de la penÃnsula de Yucatán, donde se desarrolla la novela. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
«The Glow of Wood should be regarded as an exceptional novel within the field of Mexican literature. --Joaquin Marco The Glow of Wood is the story of Casares, a Mexican young man from low socioeconomic origins who, marked by the aspirations instilled by his mother, takes on his studies and his professional life very seriously in order to try to get out of his misery and ignorance without getting lost along the way, which is precisely what happened to his father, who after investing in impossible businesses lost all his fortune, his identity, and his family. But the great Aguilar CamÃn goes far beyond this heartbreaking individual story and combines Casares' misadventures with the story of his own ancestors and the Yucatan peninsula, where the novel takes place.
