Libros de Jorge Volpi Escalante (3 libros)

Contrary to common belief, fiction occurs not when the first person lies, but when others, aware of the lie, choose to ignore it. Since our brain basically employs the same mechanisms when dealing with reality or when creating or understanding fiction, we can conclude that fiction has existed since the first Homo sapiens walked the Earth. This illuminating essay stems from a central hypothesis which states that if fiction is such a powerful tool in the exploration of nature, then, fiction is reality.

A well-researched novel explores Mexico's sometimes violent political climate and the assassination of presidential candidate Luis Donaldo Colosio.

Con la precisión y la sensualidad del cuento, las tres historias que forman este volumen se sitúan en esa tierra de nadie imprecisa, sorprendente e incluso difícil de limitar que Jorge Volpi ha bautizado como «la media distancia», un género único.
