Description
Elena Garro is a Mexican writer. Like Juan Rulfo, she is considered a "forerunner" of magical realism. Garro’s novel is being published in Russian for the first time.
The town of Ixtapec exists simultaneously in the past, present, and future. It watches as soldiers appear on its streets and begins telling its story. A new center of attraction becomes the hotel. In it, soldiers keep their mistresses—beautiful women stolen from different parts of the country. The townspeople hate them. Especially the beautiful Julia, who belongs to the general. In their opinion, it is she who is to blame for the night murders.
Soon, a young man arrives in Ixtapec. The general senses that he may lose his mistress, and more blood is spilled on the streets of the town. This horrifies the residents—but not the young girl Isabel. She is obsessed with love for the general, while the general is obsessed with Julia. Who will manage to come out alive from this love triangle?
"Memories of the Future" is the source of magical realism. The novel is placed alongside other works written in the same genre: Juan Rulfo’s " Pedro Páramo," Miguel Ángel Asturias’s "Men of Maize," Gabriel García Márquez’s "One Hundred Years of Solitude," Julio Cortázar’s "Hopscotch," and others.
