«Verde Shanghai es una novela que apuesta por la libertad en el fondo y en la forma. -Eduardo Antonio Parra Un choque automovilÃstico da comienzo a la historia de Marina y su alter ego, Xian. La primera tiene una vida dedicada al hogar y a su marido, mientras que Xian es una mujer misteriosa y libre, que encarna la resistencia y los más profundos deseos de Marina. Verde Shanghai, más que un café de chinos, es el umbral donde ambas realidades coexisten y se revelan en libertad. A partir de noticias, cartas y relatos, Marina inicia una búsqueda de las múltiples posibilidades del yo y la identidad que la llevará a descubrir los secretos de su otra personalidad. En estas páginas el lector encontrará las huellas de otra obra de Cristina Rivera Garza, La guerra no importa, que conforma el universo de Verde Shanghai en una suerte de caleidoscopio que, según por donde se le mire, será el significado y la lectura que se revele. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Green Shanghai is a novel that advocates freedom in substance and form. -Eduardo Antonio Parra
The story of Marina and her alter ego, Xian, starts with a car crash. While Marina's life is dedicated to taking care of her husband and their home, Xian is enigmatic and free, the embodiment of resistance and of Marina's deepest desires. The border between their realities is Green Shanghai, a café where the two coexist and can be revealed. Through news, letters and stories, Marina searches for the many facets of ego and identity that lead her to the secret of her other personality. In these pages, the reader will recognize traces of another book by Cristina Rivera Garza, La guerra no importa, which forms the backdrop for Green Shanghai. The result is a kaleidoscope of meanings and the act of reading that reveals them.
