«Me siento muy, pero muy afortunado de haber crecido en la colonia Unidad Modelo, en particular, en el Retorno 201. En mi barrio pasaban cosas y cada una de ellas me brindó historias para narrar.» Guillermo Arriaga

En el Retorno 201 de la Ciudad de México, el autor pasó su infancia, adolescencia y parte de su juventud. Ahí su narrativa se topó con historias que hienden como cuchillos, en donde afloran la violencia y el amor, la ternura y la brutalidad, la paz y la furia.

Con agudo instinto callejero, Arriaga presenta personajes llenos de intensidad y de contradicciones, al límite del caos y enfrentados a complejos dilemas morales. En sus historias, desnuda el alma humana, como en la escalofriante "Lilly", que relata lo que unos chicos le hacen a su prima con retraso mental; en "La viuda Díaz", conmovedora historia de amor de una joven que cuida a su marido enfermo, varios años mayor que ella; "El invicto", donde se revelan los crueles códigos de barrio; o "Trilogía", que retrata la violencia de tres judiciales sobre un inocente que cometió el error de pasar frente a ellos.

Retorno 201 es el primer libro del ganador del Premio Alfaguara, con cuentos escritos en su mayoría entre 1983 y 1988 (además de "Tarde", que escribió para esta edición, y "Trilogía", relato que creía perdido y recién recuperó), que muestra a sus nuevos lectores al escritor fiero, indómito y poderoso que ha sido Arriaga por décadas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Longlisted for the National Book Award for Translated Literature

These eleven stories from one of Granta's "Best Young Spanish-Language Novelists" combine gritty surrealism with explosive interior meditations, traversing the fickle, often terrifying terrain between madness and freedom. In the title story, a so-called "non-inventor" brings snow-white rabbits to an island inhabited exclusively by birds, with horrific results. In "Myotragus" a privileged man's understanding of the world is violently disrupted by the sight of a creature long thought extinct. Elsewhere in these stories that map dingy hotel rooms, shape-shifting cities, and graveyards, an unsightly "paw" grows from a writer's earlobe and a grandmother floats silently in the corner of the room.

beautiful color and style
Color: Dark Green/Azure Internal Mirrored Silver, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters, Color: Dark Green/Azure Internal Mirrored Silver, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters
These are really beautiful sunglasses, with a thick, sturdy green frame and gorgeous emerald green crystal accents at the temples. The hinge is set inside the crystal, so when you fold the glasses, the crystal splits into two parts. It's a neat feature and really unique. The lenses are green but lightly mirrored. I love the style and color of these glasses, as they are definitely unusual and people will notice them. They are, unfortunately, a little tight on my head. I am going to take them to my optician and see if they can be adjusted. I also believe these may have been tried on or used and returned, as the lenses are both smudged like someone handled them with dirty hands. The glasses do not seem to be damaged, but I would have expected a pristine pair at this price point. They come with paperwork and a lens cloth, along with a case for carrying and storage. Paperwork says they are made by Luxottica, which is a high-end, luxury eyewear company in Milan, Italy, that owns or licenses many popular luxury eyewear brands. They are lovely glasses with very good quality, a fun upscale look, and tons of style. I like them a lot and expect many compliments on this eye-catching pair!

Super cute
Color: Pink/Pink Mirrored Pink, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters
These are super cute and really love them except they are a tad too heavy I think for glasses. Made very well with quality materials, I found no cosmetic imperfections on the glasses. The overall look and stye of these are great and I really do love them I just can't wear them for too long due to the weight it becomes irritating.

Very cute, but the colors are a bit limited!!
Color: Dark Green/Azure Internal Mirrored Silver, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters
These oval oval sunglasses are super cute ,They will look great on any shape of face. Green is one of my favorite colors, but green is also a great test of matching skills! The lenses of Swarovski sunglasses are coated with a 100% UV protective coating to protect your eyes from UV rays!

so uncomfortable
Size: 9, Color: Champagne
These shoes are cute but UNCOMFORTABLE. The toe thong makes them impossible to wear. I wore them for 5 minutes just trying them on and my feet hurt as I’m writing this. Couldn’t recommend less. Plus, the holes that the strap fits through aren’t lined up properly and are difficult to poke through. Felt like I got the made in china version.
