Download or read book Safari accidental written by Juan Villoro and published by Joaquín Mortiz México. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En Safari accidental Juan Villoro reúne crónicas que lo confirman como uno de los mayores exponentes del género que él mismo denomina «el ornitorrinco de la prosa». Villoro visita a su Satánica Majestad Mick Lagger, viaja con Salman Rushdie a Tequila, sigue a la caravana zapatista en su ruta a la Ciudad de México, recupera la historia de amor de Fitzgerald y su esposa Zelda, dialoga con Bono, Peter Gabriel, Yoko Ono y Martin Amis. Las situaciones y los personajes célebres alternan con textos más personales: el autor recuerda a su padre durante el movimiento estudiantil del 68, descubre los recónditos placeres de la computadora Apple, evoca las enseñanzas de su maestro Augusto Monterroso y emprende una arriesgada fenomenología del chile. La crónica es una cacería frecuentemente determinada por el azar. El expedicionario que sale en pos de un león se topa con el inesperado ornitorrinco. En su versátil recorrido, Villoro retrata a un grupo que no siempre cabe en la misma foto: cien millones de mexicanos, y traza la geografía humana de algunas emblemáticas regiones de nuestro tiempo: el Berlín anterior y posterior al Muro, La Habana de todas las luces, Tijuana, la frontera más cruzada del mundo, y el parque temático por antonomasia, el reino gobernado por un ratón de fieltro, la plástica utopía de Disney World. De acuerdo con Juan Villoro los cronistas memorables son como los grandes del jazz: improvisan la eternidad. Safari accidental es un excepcional viaje en pos de esas eternidades.

Download or read book Compression Scars written by Kellie Wells and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eleven stories in Kellie Wells's debut collection cover a wide range of eccentric characters—from a young girl experiencing her friend's strange demise to a set of opposite-sex conjoined twins. Forced to deal with the debilitating confines of the physical world—usually manifest in some kind of deformity or affliction, from compression scars to mysterious blue skin—Wells's characters struggle to transcend their existential disappointments and find some way and someone to love. In the title story, Ivy and her best friend Duncan struggle to understand their mortality as Ivy learns of his potentially fatal internal scarring caused by a moped accident. As Ivy says, "Things can get so strange so fast," and they frequently do in Wells's stories. But Ivy and Duncan help each other escape their frightening, difficult world, if only momentarily, through imagination, good humor, and closeness. "Godlight" addresses most specifically the questions that are evident in all the stories: Do you believe in God, and do you believe in reincarnation? Jonas, the Hyatt Regency Hotel's live-in light bulb replacement man, encounters two different characters—a child who lives in the hotel and a woman who claims that her identity has been altered for the Witness Protection Program—who ponder these questions. Meanwhile, Jonas is left wondering what has really become of his missing daughter, Emma. The physical world is brought into question frequently in this collection, and in "My Guardian, Claire," we see what can happen when someone tries to transcend it—and succeeds. During a séance to reach the narrator's late mother, Claire reaches the spirit world and never truly returns. The narrator tries desperately to retrieve Claire through a hilarious trip to the Exotic Animal Drive-Thru Paradise. Compression Scars is an eloquent and original collection that vibrantly captures the oddities of both the everyday and the out-of-this-world.
