Hard-drinking, hard-living poker players and prostitutes of the new boom towns wives and mothers traveling two and a half thousand miles across the prairies in covered-wagon convoys, some of them so poor they walked the entire route African-American women in search of freedom from slavery Chinese sex-workers sold openly on the docks of San Francisco Native American women brutally displaced by the unstoppable tide of white settlers - all were women forced to draw on huge reserves of resilience and courage in the face of tumultuous change.

But the true-life story of women's experiences in the Wild West is more gripping, heart-rending, and stirring than all the movies, novels, folk-legends, and ballads of popular imagination. Se añade así una importante pieza a su sutil exploración sobre los orígenes y los mecanismos de la identidad con la que ha logrado construir un inconfundible universo literario. En este nuevo eslabón de su fascinante proyecto literario, el autor guatemalteco se adentra en la brutal y compleja historia reciente de su país, en la cual resulta cada vez más difícil distinguir entre víctimas y verdugos. Un narrador llamado Eduardo Halfon tendrá que viajar a Japón, y revisitar su infancia en la Guatemala de los bélicos años setenta, y acudir a un misterioso encuentro en un bar oscuro y lumpen, para finalmente dilucidar los detalles de la vida y el secuestro de aquel hombre que también se llamaba Eduardo Halfon, y que era su abuelo.

It's about what calling an animal a pest says about people, how we live, and what we want. It's not a natural history of the animals we hate. At the intersection of science, history, and narrative journalism, Pests is not a simple call to look closer at our urban ecosystem. When animals pop up where we don't expect or want them, we respond with fear, rage, or simple annoyance. Humans have spent so much of our history drawing a hard line between human spaces and wild places. You’ll stumble across this very early in the game, where there are some birds hanging out by the water’s edge.Pests : How Humans Create Animal Villains by Bethany BrookshireĪ squirrel in the garden.
