International Latino Book Awards 2025 - Mejor novela de Ciencia Ficción. MEDALLA DE BRONCE
Este libro es una lectura obligada para todos los que aman la ciencia ficción. Lo tiene todo! --Comentario de los jueces del ILBA
Un resonante experimento literario -XOCHITL GONZALEZ, AUTORA DE OLGA MUERE SOÑANDO
Inspirado en el clásico de Mary Shelley y combinando elementos de ciencia ficción, horror, sátira política y romance, Frankenstein Chicano confronta los prejuicios de una sociedad en crisis y cuestiona el verdadero significado de ser humano.
Los reanimados están casi completamente integrados en nuestra sociedad, aunque continúan empleados en los trabajos que nadie más quiere hacer. Devueltos a la vida a través de un controvertido proceso en el que se emplean partes de distintos cadáveres, viven en el límite de un mundo que los rechaza casi tanto como los necesita. Y es que, en Estados Unidos, la primera mujer que ha ganado la presidencia tras una campaña electoral anti-reanimación, insiste en que los zurcidos son criminales que han llegado para robar los trabajos de sus ciudadanos.
En Los Ángeles, un asistente legal lleva una vida monótona después de que el proceso de reanimación borrara su memoria. Pero todo cambia cuando se enamora de la abogada Faustina Godínez. Al adentrarse en su mundo --lleno de amigos, risas, chilaquiles y pan dulce-- el hombre comienza a indagar sobre sus orígenes y a conocer detalles de su propia vida anterior. Pero la incertidumbre a la que se enfrenta no será el único obstáculo que tendrá que superar: los simpatizantes de la causa anti- reanimación siguen sus pasos cada vez más de cerca...
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
International Latino Book Awards 2025 - Best Novel, SciFi. BRONZE MEDAL
'This was a must read for everyone who loves sciencefction! It had everything. --Insight from the ILBA judges
A modern retelling of the Mary Shelley classic that addresses issues of belonging and assimilation.
An unnamed paralegal, brought back to life through a controversial process, maneuvers through a near-future world that both needs and resents him. As the United States president spouts anti-reanimation rhetoric and giant pharmaceutical companies rake in profits, the man falls in love with lawyer Faustina Godínez. His world expands as he meets her network of family and friends, setting him on a course to discover his first-life history, which the reanimation process erased. With elements of science fiction, horror, political satire and romance, Chicano Frankenstein confronts our nation's bigotries and the question of what it truly means to be human.
