Notes from a bad writer
Bars presented Anonymous notes Hernández, the bad and uncomfortable famous writer of letters. Eighteen stories that had a good response on the blog of the author and the chance to be published in Nitro publisher Press, a book designed and illustrated by Lilia Barajas.
who has tried to publish a text in a magazine or in a supplement, a book in a big publisher, medium, small or, indeed, get to make publications and editions, the first thing you learn is that work and publishing market is tough, painful and ungrateful as the kick of a mule, especially when you do not have the resources to do so. As if that were not enough, are activities controlled by ranchers in the editorial, production, distribution and sale. Taxes are the coup de grace. So it is admirable what they do Nitro Press Barman, Rhythm & Books Santibanez and Veronica Elena Maza, and the magazine Roberta Garza replicating and Rogelio Villarreal, deliver superior products for a long editorial to flood the market. Notes a bad writer is precisely about that and more, is a caricature of literary publishing world and is torn between the largest and most prestigious companies only bet on the best seller, the new editors, dedicated to social life ; the envious writers, capable of anything to get scholarships and prizes, and small publishers, which published writers of all categories, to appear in these pages.
Anonymous Hernandez is the writer rejected by bad, ugly, penniless, without sex appeal, dirty bastard, which recounts his adventures to publish and be recognized as a writer. Sunk in an absurd world that would pale in Beckett's characters, wryly writes his version of events. Then, from his pen was born a superhero movie, leaves the big screen to redeem his creation to Shelley's Frankenstein: The Escribator, an avenger of the letters to the cry of the pool, to hell!, just with publishers, literary workshops, book fairs and bookstores. A different facet of the writer and essayist who are accustomed to. Anonymous Hernández exploits its defects without prejudice or shame, the world of letters is filtered through the eye free type so that you turn the page with his invention of science fiction. Bars retains a sense of humor with which moves in the environment of the written word is what really saves the character in this mess. The Chronicles of Tijuana, Mexicali and Ensenada are a record of their stay wild in these cities, where the writer is wrong to present books and conduct workshops, accompanied by a battalion impossible cultural promoters, literary agents, writers, artists and diyeis of all stripes. A funny look at the grotesque spectacle editorial.
Life is a soap opera
Almost at the same time, the Editorial Atemporia published this collection of seven stories published in books Bars. The stories are: The other name of the Rose, Life is a soap opera, not like sex is not sex, Chekhov lamp, why can not we be those of before?, That's not being done to anyone and Legislature literature. The stories were reworked for this edition, as the author explains in an endnote. The novelty is the comic adaptation of The Other Name of the Rose, by Ricardo Camacho for the defunct magazine El Gallito Comics. Best of Species for those who want to start in the vice of bars.
