Literary Fiction
About Ausencia
by María Luisa Mendoza
Description
It’s likely that Mexican literature hasn’t yet produced another character similar to Ausencia Bautista Lumbres, who went from an impoverished orphan to a rich girl due to the fact that her father bought a prosperous mine before dying. Being a free and independent woman, Ausencia devotes her life to enjoy several lovers and pleasures with the complicity of the faithful Enedina. The protagonist’s conflict comes from a deeper place, from the philosophical questioning of femininity and existence. The author breaks all limits by the use of a complicated language and narrative techniques, that also provoke a unique vertigo sensation. The final result is complex and funny at the same time.
