Synopsis "La Guerra Y Las Palabras (in Spanish)"

Un interesante ensayo novelado que recrea la historia reciente de México.Empleando tanto los recursos propios de la ficción como el rigor del ensayo, Jorge Volpi reconstruye el ambiente intelectual en el que se urdió el alzamiento zapatista, deja que sus personajes intervengan por sí mismos, desmenuza sus acciones y sus palabras -por sus páginas desfilan figuras como Carlos Salinas de Gortari y Luis Donaldo Colosio al lado de Octavio Paz, Carlos Fuentes o Manuel Vázquez Montalbán-, y se esfuerza por interpretar el sentido último de la revuelta.
