Trails to the Sierra Madre

2023

Dear reader, you hold in your hands a wonderful book by an author who was my most brilliant student. Don't avert your gaze from its pages; delve deeper and let your memories of car trips awaken as you read them. It doesn't matter if they are other places, other roads; fiction and memory bring us closer to an internal dialogue, recalling those endless car journeys of your childhood. Let time past summon the local geography, and also the imagined one, because between narrative and poetry, Trails to the Sierra Madre offers us paths where "there is time for everything we are missing."
