Las muertas, la novela que inspiró la nueva serie original de Netflix dirigida por Luis Estrada, revive con humor negro y crítica mordaz uno de los casos criminales más escalofriantes de México.
Junto con tres hombres, una mujer llega a un pueblo buscando venganza por una vieja afrenta. Una vez que dan con el objetivo --Simón, el panadero--, lo balacean e incendian su local. El panadero sobrevive al ataque e identifica más tarde ante el Ministerio Público a Serafina Baladro, su antigua amante. Ambos son acusados de haber llevado a cabo una inhumación clandestina, pero las investigaciones del crimen revelan los oscuros secretos de Serafina y su hermana Arcángela, dueñas de cantinas y prostíbulos, así como su siniestra relación con una serie de estafas, trata de mujeres, fosas y asesinatos.
Obra maestra de la literatura iberoamericana, en Las muertas, Jorge Ibargüengoitia lleva al terreno de la ficción un espantoso caso verídico, el de las Poquianchis. Una muestra insuperable de la capacidad del autor para retratar con humor negro e ironía las capas más oscuras de la realidad.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The Dead Girls, the novel that inspired the new Netflix original series directed by Luis Estrada, revives with dark humor and biting satire one of Mexico's most chilling criminal cases.
Accompanied by three men, a woman arrives in a town seeking revenge for an old grievance. Once they find their target--Simón, the baker--they shoot him and set his shop on fire. The baker survives and later identifies Serafina Baladro, his former lover, to the authorities. Both are accused of carrying out a clandestine burial, but the investigation uncovers the dark secrets of Serafina and her sister Arcángela, owners of bars and brothels, and their sinister ties to fraud, human trafficking, mass graves, and murder.
A masterpiece of Latin American literature, in The Dead Girls, Jorge Ibargüengoitia fictionalizes the horrifying true story of Las Poquianchis. A brilliant example of the author's ability to portray the darkest layers of reality with irony and black humor.
