A Elenita le duele México,
By "ignorante" (San Luis Potosí, SLP Mx) - See all my reviews
This review is from: La piel del cielo (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
Una "ficción histórica" de la señora Poniatowska, que lo mismo introduce como personaje a José Revueltas que a un mundo de científicos mexicanos - algunos con sus nombres reales - en un intento de transmitirnos el mundo interior y exterior del voluntarioso Lorenzo De Tena. Seguramente aquellos que son científicos, o conocedores de la historia de la ciencia mexicana, saborearán el retrato "ficticio" que hace esta genial escritora y periodista del (¿nacimiento del?) México científico de hace unas décadas. Aquellos que no lo somos, aún así (y quizá por eso, pues habremos conocido "aún otro" México) seguramente disfrutaremos la manera como va trazando la personalidad de Lorenzo, sus tropiezos, triunfos y lecciones en el contexto de un México que le duele a los dos, al protagonista y a la escritora.This book won the 2001 Alfaguara prize for a Novel, something I think should be told somewhere in this site. Get to know -yet- another Mexico.

This review is from: La piel del cielo (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
I really liked this book because it shows the real religious, political, academic, and social life in Mexico. The way details are exposed and how real the characters are make the book very interesting.

This review is from: La piel del cielo (Spanish Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)
Comienza bien pero luego se torna aburrido. Tuve que esforzarme en terminarlo, por más de una ocasión estuve a punto de dejarlo.
