Description

With an Introduction by Gabriel Garca Mrquez A new translation by Douglas J. Weatherford In this stunning masterpiece of the surreal, Juan Preciado sets out on a strange quest, bound by a promise to his dying mother. Embarking down a parched and dusty road, Juan goes to seek his father, Pedro Pramo, from whom they fled many years ago. The ruined town of Comala is alive with whispers and shadows. Time shifts from one consciousness to another in a hypnotic flow of desires and memories, a world of ghosts dominated by the tyranny of the Pramo family. Womaniser, overlord and murderer, Juan's notorious father retains an eternal grip over Comala. Its barren and broken-down streets echo the voices of tormented spirits sharing the secrets of the past in an extraordinary chorus of sensory images, violent passions and unfathomable mysteries.

Author Biography:

Juan Rulfo (1918-1986) is the author of what is probably the most important novel in Mexican literature. Pedro Pramo was published in 1955 and went on to be translated into 45 languages, sell over a million copies in English alone and initiate an entire literary movement. Rulfo was also an anthropologist and photographer who wrote one other book, The Burning Plain, a collection of short stories. Douglas J. Weatherford, Professor of Hispanic Literature and Film at Brigham Young University, has published extensively on Juan Rulfo, with particular emphasis on the author's connection to film. In 2017, Weatherford released the first English-language translation of Rulfo's second novel, El gallo de oro (The Golden Cockerel and Other Writings, Deep Vellum).
