Thirteen culichis writings / Trece escritos culichis
by Ronaldo González Valdés
This collection of thirteen writings is an analytical journey of one of the most relevant cities in northern Mexico. It would not be inaccurate to say that Ronaldo is a contemporary Virgil, but the itinerary he proposes is not only a descent into the proverbial hell. He guides us through the lateral findings of his home studio in the midst of the pandemic, to some corner of cherished historical value while the bullets of military operatives whiz by, along with the gaze of his students stunned by terrible and false news, between the literary genealogy that imagined the city throughout the 20th century, to the tenderness of feeding stray cats while reading George Steiner and listening to corridos outside in the street.A professor, researcher and columnist who wrote early versions of this book in Nexos magazine, Ronaldo joins the acute interpretation of Mexican reality by Carlos Monsivaís, Roger Bartra and Fernando Escalante Gonzalbo, among others, with his essay on Sinaloa, a lt;>. The essays that Ronaldo dedicates to the two evets know as >, are of utmost importance to the radical resignation they've triggered. Between chronicle, journal entries and academic analysis, Ronaldo builds a personal view of different narrative genres all converging to dismantle the erratic readings that the violence in the streets on October 17, 2019, and then on January 5, 2023, provked. Also known as > due to the coincidence of that day of the week, these episodes generated a state of siege that left deep emotional scars on the population. Oswaldo Zavala Sinopsis Esta colección de trece “escritos culichis” es un viaje iniciático a una de las ciudades más relevantes del norte de Mexico. No sería impreciso decir que Ronaldo es un Virgilio contemporáneo, pero el itinerario que propone no es solamente un descenso hacia el proverbial infierno. Nos guía por los hallazgos laterales del estudio de su casa en medio de la pandemia, hacia alguna esquina de apreciado valor histórico mientras zumban las balas de los operativos militares, junto a la mirada de sus alumnos atónitos ante terribles y falsas noticias, entre la genealogía literaria que imaginó la urbe a lo largo del siglo XX, hasta la ternura de alimentar gatos callejeros mientras se lee a George Steiner y se escuchan corridos.Profesor, investigador y articulista que ensayó primeras versiones de este libro en la revista nexos, Ronaldo se suma a la aguda interpretación de la realidad mexicana de Carlos Monsiváis, Roger Bartra y Fernando Escalante Gonzalbo, entre otros, con su examen de Sinaloa como una “sociedad demediada”.Son centrales los ensayos que Ronaldo dedica a los dos “Culiacanazos”, detonadores radicales de re-signaciones. Entre la crónica, la entrada de diario y el análisis académico, Ronaldo construye una mirada personal de géneros narrativos en convergencia para desmontar las lecturas erráticas que suscitó la violencia en las calles el 17 de octubre de 2019 y luego el 5 de enero de 2023. También llamados los “jueves negros” por la coincidencia de ese día de la semana, estos episodios generaron un estado de sitio que dejó hondas secuelas emocionales en la población. Oswaldo Zavala

A trip through Italy thanks to football
by Toni Padilla
This trip through Italy is not intended to arrive as soon as possible. The guide is Toni Padilla, who, accompanied by a ball, and based on themes such as death, music, cheese or stickers, is impregnated with the country's double soul. Here are the majestic Italy and the Italy massacred by prejudices, lying on this journey from north to south and from east to west. The raw material of the stories, which are only on the author's radar, are the walks through the homeland of Benito Mussolini, Rafaella Carrà or Francesco Totti. Its pages are a map where memories are celebrated and goals are savored. Written with detailed prose and a leisurely gaze, they seem from another era, now that we don't have time for everything. But calcium is in no rush to get off this train.
