Event 41

A conversation with Julián Herbert and Luis Jorge Boone

Intimate histories from the Mexican revolution

Venue: Patio de la Delegación del Centro Histórico

Luis Jorge Boone and Julián Herbert, both from Coahuila, offer, with El polvo que levantan las botas de los muertos, a unique and intimate view of the Mexican Revolution, combining non-fiction with poetry and storytelling. By recovering the biographies of two people forgotten by history, that of a private in the federal army who is waiting for the enemy to arrive while he remembers his childhood, and that of a rural teacher who is made a member of the Congress founded by the Constitution of 1917. Both authors remind of us of the many life stories that were buried by the violence of the war and by the passage of time.
