Fandelli
by Guillermo Fadanelli
The novel consists of a kind of dialogue between a man who remembers his youth (Fandelli) and a ruthless and cruel critical voice that is born or comes from the tormented or tragic consciousness of Fandelli himself. In this story, as part of the scenography, the reader finds the poverty of some marginal neighborhoods, the architecture of “Colonial” and modern Mexico, the public Mexican university strike in 1986, and the intimate story of the main character’s family.The novel is brief, intimate, sharp and insolent. The rhythm of the narration is vertiginous. We could say that it’s a prose poetry book. It has been published only in Mexico in 2019. But it has free rights outside of this country. guillermofadanelli.com
