| Synopsis | Palmeras de la brisa rápido is one of Juan Villoro's most famous chronicles and a classic of Latin American travel literature. With a personal search as its driving force and a publishing commission as its chassis, this agile story concentrates an innumerable quantity of wonders that only the "sister republic" of Yucatan has been able to engender thanks to its history, geography and taste for syncretism: pyramids that are too arduous, dishes of an unsurpassed baroque style, ubiquitous souvenir sellers, dentures exported abroad, a very unique Spanish: the infinite wonders of Yucatecan culture. With an eagerness born from the search for his own roots, Villoro - son and grandson of Yucatecans - brings together a diverse series of characters inside the legendary Volkswagen in which he traveled the peninsula: the chess player who challenged Capablanca, troubadours who renew the eternal art of dying of love, the most courteous of hard rock groups, a socialist baseball league. Ultimately, and as the author himself defined it, this is a journey to a narrative style but, above all, to an emotional destination. |
