«Cuando digo que el escritor ha ganado, lo que estoy diciendo férreamente es que nos habita, que dialoga con la literatura actual, que es parte de nosotres y que no tiene miedo de persistir porque siempre supo que toda realidad se expande. -Brenda Navarro Irónica, desencantada y llena de humor, esta novela relata la vida de Gabriel GuÃa, un adolescente extraviado y cÃnico, hijo de una familia acomodada, cuyos únicos intereses verdaderos son la escritura y la música. Con ella se inauguró un nuevo ciclo de la literatura mexicana, en la que los jóvenes, su lenguaje y su furia tienen un peso central y decisivo, y de la cual José AgustÃn es un exponente indiscutible. La tumba es una de las obras esenciales de la literatura mexicana del siglo XX. Esta edición incluye fotografÃas inéditas del escritor y conversaciones sobre los momentos más significativos de su vida con familiares, amistades cercanas y escritores: su viaje a Cuba, su participación en el taller literario de Juan José Arreola, la publicación de La tumba, la relación con su esposa, amigos y hermanos, su paso por Lecumberri. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION When I say that the author has won, I mean that he inhabits us, is in dialogue with current literature, is part of us, and is not afraid to persist, because he knows that reality is constantly expanding. -Brenda Navarro
Ironic, disenchanted and funny, this novel is the story of Gabriel GuÃa, a wayward and cynical teenager from a wealthy family whose only real interests are music and writing. It launched a new phase in Mexican literature in which young people, their language and their fury play a central and decisive role. José AgustÃn is a main protagonist of this genre, and The Tomb is essential reading in twentieth-century Mexican literature. This edition includes never-before-seen photographs of the author and conversations with his family, close friends and fellow writers about the events that shaped his life: his trip to Cuba; the literary workshop led by Juan José Arreola; publication of The Tomb; his relationship with his wife, siblings and friends; and his time in Mexico's Lecumberri Prison.
