| Synopsis | «Barry Gifford, the father of Perdita Durango and Romeo Dolorosa, is known for his fondness for giving his fictional characters sonorous and picturesque names... What is behind Gifford's fondness for picturesque appellations? » Many things: the loneliness of the border, of that mythical territory between the United States and Mexico, and the loneliness of all men... portraits turned to dust and wind. » Roberto Bolaño In the border region between Coahuila and Texas, near Piedras Negras, a tribe of Seminole Indians seeks to escape persecution by the United States government. The blood and culture of the Creeks and the black slaves who have escaped from the plantations live and mix there; together they look for a place to live and prosper in peace. The Mexican government offers them Birth in exchange for fighting against the local native rebels. However, this territory is more porous and conflictive than it seems at first glance and, as the story progresses, the battle fronts multiply. Cass Dupuy, a retired ranger, will try all kinds of alliances to get a cut of the inhuman business of slavery. Teresa, his daughter, is a brave young woman who flees from her father's ranch in the company of Sonny, the son of a legendary Seminole chief. These characters trace, at the center of the story, a story of love and revenge that opens a path between blood and bullets. The hunch leads us through a territory of adventure and heroism. Barry Gifford is one of those rare writers who moves us, touches us and shakes us on the same page. |
