| Synopsis | The essays in Drenajes form an intricate network through which various narrative flows tell, from multiple perspectives and treatments, the story of water in the basin of the Valley of Mexico. The unexpected link between the drainage channel that runs through the municipality of Ecatepec and a global publishing consortium, the actions of resistance that several towns in the Valley of Mexico sustained against attempts to accumulate water from ancient Tenochtitlán, the hunt for a mythical creature in contemporary Texcoco, the neoliberal disaster that has brought dispossession and contamination to our water bodies; the stories and characters that cross the restless currents of this book are palpable examples of the ways in which writing can be decanted into a political stance and of how fiction manages to provide clarity to the dark events of a murky history. With an extraordinary ability to build relationships, Rodríguez Landeros manages in each of these texts to surprise the reader with the discovery that, in effect, there is a secret thread capable of linking everything: an underground pipeline that unites the intimate waters of our homes with a lake past and the grandiloquent future of a chimerical national project. |
