Fiction
In Living Memory
by Susana de Murga
Description
Mariano is headed to the adventure of his dreams: running uphill with his motorcycle, in the company of his friends and sing out loud as the engines roar. However, as his bliss begins, he and a group of other people gets kidnapped. The criminals hurt and humiliate all of their victims and demand large amounts of money as ransoms. Slowly, all the victims are released; all except for Mariano, who will not believe what he must do in order to survive. The long walk from where he is taken to the place in which he is held captive makes Mariano remember something his mind had kept locked away, an abuse he suffered as a child of which he had never spoken. Until now. Thus, he finds himself to be twice captured: once physically, and once emotionally.

Reviews
"Susana de Murga's narrative is strong and ruthless, yet soft, kind, and convincing, without setting aside the precise emotions of a set of charaters that have been pushed to their very limit. It shocks her readers as if they were living it themselves"
Élmer Mendoza
Author Biography
She was born in Mexico City in 1968. Susana de Murga has expressed in her work, among other themes, the otherness of urban life and the difficulties represented in the search for freedom. Her novel La vida en un hilván (Ediciones Felou, 2008) is a post-trauma psychological exploration; In Mejor morir bajo un zapato (Ediciones Felou, 2011) she examines the imprisonment of a teacher; Esperanzas en papel de arroz (Ediciones Felou, 2013), takes us into the world of drug dealing. Even though she writes about the severe reality, she is skilled in writing with humor, in a way in which she offers a profound and agil reading. Susana also practices her literary vocation as a teacher in literary creation workshops in Casa Lamm. El dolor de la memoria is her fourth novel.
