Entre rezos, parlantes y carcajadas, una mujer rememora su infancia y adultez en Santa Lucía, un pueblo correntino donde lo insólito es cotidiano. Desde la beata que confunde un revólver con fe, hasta un suizo atrapado en la logica tropical del Litoral, estas cronicas costumbristas capturan el alma de un lugar que habla en altavoz, se rie de si mismo y transforma cada desliz en anecdota inolvidable. Con una prosa chispeante, oral y entrañable, la autora convierte lo minimo en epico. Mas que memorias, este libro es una celebracion de la vida de pueblo, de los personajes que la habitan y del humor como forma de resistencia. Un viaje al corazon del interior argentino, donde la risa siempre tiene la ultima palabra.

Las vidas de Jesús Anaya Rosique y Lourdes Uranga López son una ventana para adentrarnos en la historia de la guerra sucia en México a través de su memoria. En sus narraciones afloran el modo de recordar esa etapa de su vida, sus inquietudes, su forma de ver y concebir el mundo y hacen posible que conozcamos por que, como tantos cientos de jovenes, optaron por la via armada para buscar un cambio en el pais. Desde la subjetividad de sus historias podemos ahondar en la forma en que la rebeldia de ambos, su inconformidad con el statu quo y su creencia de que podian transformar su entorno los condujeron a optar por la via armada, influidos por la revolucion cubana y su propia experiencia vital. Ambos deseaban un Mexico mas justo, con menos diferencias sociales, y por ello simpatizaron con el marxismo. Su juventud se desenvolvio justo en las decadas en las que la rebeldia juvenil se manifestaba en muchos paises de diferentes formas, desde la militancia comprometida con causas politicas y sociales, la guerrilla, hasta el movimiento hippie. La cerrazon del sistema politico mexicano, autoritario y unipartidista entre 1960 y 1976, que no permitia la participacion politica de posturas independientes, especialmente si provenian de la izquierda y las represiones del 2 de octubre de 1968 y del 10 de junio de 1971 les hicieron optar por el cambio revolucionario. Esta decision daria un viraje profundo a sus vidas y las marcaria por el resto de su existencia.
