Resurgimiento de “La sed” / “La sed” is out again

Es un enorme placer informarles que mi primera novela La sed (2001), inicialmente editada con Colibrí, acaba de ser reeditada por Paraíso Perdido. Es la oportunidad de leerla para aquellos lectores que llevaban años buscándola sin poder encontrar ejemplares. ¡Ojalá la gocen!

It’s a great pleasure to let you know that my first novel La sed (The Thirst, 2001), first published by Colibrí in Mexico, has just been reissued by Paraíso Perdido (in Spanish only, I’m afraid). This will give the chance to read it to all those readers who had been looking for it for years, unable to find copies. I hope you enjoy it! https://editorialparaisoperdido.com/libro/la-sed/

Talk – Mexican rock and resistance

On the 27th of April I’ll talk about Mexican rock and resistance, drawing from my experience as a radio producer and presenter in the 1980s for Radio Universidad de Guadalajara, as a rock journalist for several decades, lyricist for rock band Santa Sabina, and a member of the musicians, artists and students’ collectives that organised mass concerts in the 1990s in support of the indigenous communities that constituted the grassroots of the EZLN (National Zapatista Liberation Army), as well as fighting the misinformation that was then rampant about the war in the state of Chiapas.

The talk is being organised with UNAM-UK, Centre for Mexican Studies, in King’s College, London. Please join us!
