«Hiram Ruvalcaba posee una destreza implacable para fraguar tramas inquietantes y combinar herencias que van del true crime y el gótico sureño a la crónica latinoamericana o lo rulfiano y arreolesco, pero su escritura es también algo más: un conmovedor testimonio de la masculinidad del siglo xxi intentando dialogar con sus demonios sin hipocresía y, de ser posible, sin miedo.» -Julián Herbert

En 1996, Sagrario murió baleada en la entrada de su residencia; los disparos alertaron a los vecinos, incluyendo a Hiram, el hijo mayor de la familia Ruvalcaba, de apenas ocho años. Poco después, en el año 2000, también a Rocío le arrebataron la vida de forma violenta: fue asesinada y sepultada a medias en la sala de su casa. En 2005, la frontera simbólica entre un asesinato noticioso, anónimo, y el de alguien consanguíneo terminó por quebrarse. El Jalisco rural y semiurbano se había convertido en una tolvanera de cadáveres, y uno de ellos era el del tío Antonio Ruvalcaba.

Tres asesinatos, apenas tres muertes entre todas esas que no somos capaces de contabilizar ni de reconocer. A partir de ellas, Hiram Ruvalcaba entreteje una impresionante novela debut que, desde la autoficción, lo posiciona como digno heredero de la tradición literaria de las tierras de Rulfo y Arreola.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Hiram Ruvalcaba is skilled at crafting unsettling plots and combining influences that range from true crime and Southern Gothic to Latin American chronicle, Juan Rulfo and Juan José Arreola. But his writing is also more than that: It is a moving testimony to twenty-first century masculinity and an attempt to face one's demons head on, without hypocrisy or, if possible, fear." - Julián Herbert

In 1996, Sagrario was shot to death outside his home. His neighbors rushed to the scene, including 8-year-old Hiram, the eldest of the Ruvalcaba children. Just four years later, in 2000, Rocío too died a violent death, murdered and half buried in her living room. Finally, in 2005, the symbolic border between unknown, sensationalist killer and blood relative collapses as the body count rises in rural and suburban Jalisco, with Hiram's uncle, Antonio Ruvalcaba, among the victims.

Three murders, among countless others that have left a death toll too high to process. Hiram Ruvalcaba uses them as the starting point for this impressive debut, an autobiographical novel that positions him as a worthy heir to a Mexican literary tradition founded by masters such as Rulfo and Arreola.

Editing and Hockey Research Would Have Made This Better
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
A bit of editing and research needed here. Maybe I’m just a hockey fan, but if you’re going to use actual NHL teams as opponents, please make sure you use actual NHL teams and not NBA team names. At the beginning of chapter 24, they play the “Philadelphia 76ers” which is NOT Philly’s NHL team. That’s an insult to Gritty and the Flyers, Philly’s actual NHL team. Honestly, if you’re going to use a fictional NHL team, them just make all the opponent teams fictional too. Additionally, I believe that trainers have an entire area to themselves, not just an office with one or two tables. June wouldn’t have to go through the locker room to tear the players; more likely she has her own space and office area. war the workout and recovery areas.

So So Amazing
Format: Kindle
I received this book wiht the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review. In this book we meet June Wilder, Rhett Lawson, Cole Thibault, & Elias Nystrom. When this book opens we find that June has just joined the Atlanta Reapers as their new physical trainer. From the moment she starts she knows that she is going to get push back but there is something about not only this team but these guys that have become more to her than she thought when she first started. Rhett is the kind of guy who make a joke with anyone. One night when something happens with June he realizes there is something more than just jokes with her. Cole has been compartmentalized his life for years now. With the addition of June to the team he finds himself finding a person who understands his compartments and lets him be him. Elias is a man who is a an island. When he learns that opening up to one person who sees him allows him to grow and heal in many ways. Can they all find a HEA or will their positions make that impossible? Another amazing story by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Good spicy campy hockey
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed the character development. Reading about their growth and dealing with individual issues made good entertainment. Some surprising twists that made the book even better. Really glad we didn't have to go down the angst road where the public got to damage the budding relationships.

Great read!
Format: Kindle
Wonderful characters with great humor, a bit of mystery and a strong silent grumpy Sentinel to stand with the leading lady. They make her stronger but she also makes them stronger. I love the dynamics and the way it played out. This was a fun read!. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
