The Mirror’s Crypt
by Marcela del Río
Description
Marcela del Río was a cultural attaché during the 70s in Prague. From that experience she wrote a magnificent novel about the decay of a Mexican family, a political system and a country lacerated by October 2 massacre. While the male character (an ambassador and pater familias) suffers the injustices of a decadent political system, the peripheral voices that surround him (his wife, his domestic employee, his rebel son) will question and try to transform the hegemonic structures that oppress them.
