Fiction
Jaulagrande
by Guadalupe Faraj
Description
"Jaulagrande. Nobody wants to go." This is the sentence with which Jaulagrande begins. Yet, there they go: a military officer who has lost his honor, his wife, weary from years of loyalty, and a son on the brink of adolescence for whom the world is, above all, a great question. Jaulagrande is a military base where the sun fades, geese rejuvenate by eating garbage, and everyone finds their fate, even if that fate is nothing more than a final period. What happens there defies conventional norms but is bound by tacit laws that Guadalupe Faraj skillfully establishes as another possible logic. With a thick atmosphere and a rhythm that is neither excessive nor lacking, Jaulagrande is a sharp, tender, precise, and, above all, penetrating novel.

"One of the possible worlds of the future, narrated with overwhelming precision and sensitivity." Alejandra Laurencich
"In Jaulagrande, Guadalupe Faraj presents a dystopian scenario, but the novel is much more than that. Never before have we read a story where the absurdities and humiliations of military bases and beauty pageants converge, while also capturing the tenderness for a world that is fading away. Written with a delicate rhythm and very intelligent humor, Jaulagrande creates a unique universe that stays with us long after the reading is over." Betina González
