Estupendo ensayo (crónica literaria) a través del cual Vicente Alfonso muestra lo que dejamos de ver de Guerrero

Estupendo libro, la recreación más que de la violencia en Guerrero, sino la forma como hila eso con la historia de Carlos Montemayor es de mucha calidad.

Me dejó con un nudo en el estómago, me dió la oportunidad de entender un poco lo que pasa en Guerrero, el trasfondo de una guerra sin cuartel donde la gente esta cansada, harta y aún con eso sigue en pie.
Si les interesa aprender sobre nuestro México de mil colores, no se pierdan ésta lectura por favor.
