La cabeza de mi padre
Murillo, Alma Delia
At forty years old, like a road trip, with no more reference than an old photograph, a daughter undertakes the search for her father. While she narrates her decision to go meet him and the journey that takes her from Mexico City to Michoacán, we will build, together with her, the past, loves, joys, accidents, her absences. "We are all children of Pedro Páramo," Alma Delia Murillo tells us, given the common factor that is the abandonment of the home by her father. Faced with this fact, she strips naked in each chapter to tell us about the need to reconstruct that symbol of universal weight, in order to define herself. Her life, then, unfolds as the framework of this search: between seven brothers and a working mother, the protagonist grows up and reflects not only on her biography, but also on the history of a deeply divided country where women have not counted enough, from his point of view, the story of the father .My father's head is a transparent book, in which the readers will accompany the journey to find that man with a mysterious destiny and, perhaps, we will be able to see glimpses of our own searches. A story written from the core, from where you can only walk the path to the origin.
