Synopsis
Liborio tiene que dejar M xico, pues en M xico s lo tienes las putizas para sobrevivir. Por eso me vine para ac , porque ya estaba hasta el culo de andarme limpiando los mocos en el polvo; mordi ndole las entra as a la tierra y cruza, como tantos otros, el R o Bravo para llegar a la tierra prometida . En un barrio cualquiera de cualquier ciudad gringa, este mojado nos cuenta su historia. En esta novela, Aura Xilonen nos cuenta los problemas sociales, la soledad, el miedo, pero tambi n el amor al que los migrantes pueden enfrentarse. Gracias a los recuerdos y a la voz de Liborio lo acompa amos a cruzar la frontera de manera ilegal y entendemos c mo a sus ojos el entorno brilla con todo el lujo al que s lo accede a distancia, mirando. Alimenta sus fantas as er ticas mientras observa a las morras transitar por las calles, al tener la oportunidad de trabajar en una librer a. Y es ah donde, casi fortuitamente, conoce a una chica con la que fantasea y a la que vuelve la raz n de su existencia. Entonces, su historia dar un giro inesperado: se convertir en boxeador. La vida de Liborio nos acompa ar y nos deslumbrar en un lenguaje que demuestra, a su vez, resistencia y fascinaci n. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Random House Literature's Mauricio Achar Prize 2015 Liborio finds that he must escape from Mexico, that land that has offered him nothing but misfortune and a keen survival instinct. Narrated in Liborio's "Ingle ol," we accompany him as he crosses the R o Grande to arrive in "the promised land." And in an unspecified neighborhood in any gringo city, this mojado tells us his story. As we encounter the love letters written by the protagonist to his beloved girl, we also see the social problems faced by migrants, their solitude and fear, but also light and love they have the chance to find, once they have the strength to make the journey and overcome great challenges., Liborio tiene que dejar México, pues «en México sólo tienes las putizas para sobrevivir.

- o***a (54)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI thought I was ordering a paper back, especially considering the price was only around $10. I'm not sure if they shipped a hard cover by mistake. But I am more than happy to accept it. The description wasn't clear on what it was. So this could very well have been the intended item. I was not very impressed with their customer service at all. It took them days to respond and they didn't seem to care about the delay in shipping. I might purchase again, but I would be cautious as it was delayed.
- r***1 (182)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++
