Tu Cabello Es La Frontera / Your Hair Is the Border
Esquivel, J. Jesús
Synopsis "Tu Cabello Es La Frontera / Your Hair Is the Border"
Una novela basada en hechos reales que retrata con intensidad la vida en la frontera norte del país, ese otro México dentro de México que vive al filo de la navaja y en el que la línea que separa la legalidad de la ilegalidad es tan porosa como aquella que divide a un país del otro. Carolina es una joven atractiva de Ciudad Juárez. La vida parece sonreírle: el negocio familiar es próspero, sus hermanos mayores la adoran y protegen, y, a su corta edad, comienza a ser el objeto de atracción de todas las miradas masculinas juarenses -y esto, claramente, no le molesta-. Mientras la vida en la ciudad se ve trastocada por la violencia, el narcotráfico y la corrupción, Carolina parece habitar una realidad paralela, entre la candidez y el cinismo. Vicente es un periodista que comienza su carrera en un diario de la capital del país. Gracias a su dedicación y su valor para exhibir a funcionarios públicos, es asignado a una misión importante: cubrir la guerra contra el narcotráfico, del presidente Enrique Calderón Nieto, en el norte del país. Al poco tiempo de iniciar su investigación, descubre que el asunto es mucho más grave que una sangrienta disputa entre bandas rivales de criminales y que la red de complicidades y corrupción alcanza al procurador de justicia y al gobernador del estado. Qué pasará cuando los caminos de estos dos personajes -Carolina Vicente- se crucen? Mezcla magistral de thriller político y novela costumbrista, Tu cabello es la frontera es el retrato fiel de la descomposición política de un país y, al mismo tiempo, el retrato entrañable del día a día de millones de mexicanos que viven, en todos los sentidos, sobre la raya. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A novel based on true events that intensely depicts life on the country's northern border, this other Mexico inside of Mexico that lives on a razor's edge and in which the line that separates legality from illegality is as porous as the one that divides one country from the other. Carolina is an attractive young woman from Ciudad Juarez. Life seems to smile at her: the family business is prosperous, her older brothers adore and protect her, and at her young age, she's beginning to become the object that attracts all the masculine stares in Juarez--and this clearly doesn't bother her. While life in the city is disrupted by violence, drug cartels, and corruption, Carolina seems to live in a parallel reality, between candor and cynicism. Vicente is a reporter that begins his career at a newspaper in the country's capital. Thanks to his dedication and bravery for exposing public officials, he's assigned to an important missions: covering the president's, Enrique Calderón Nieto's, war on drugs in the northern part of the country. A short time after beginning his investigation, he discovers that the issue is a lot graver than just a bloody dispute between rival bands of criminals and that the web of complicity and corruption reaches the district attorney and the governor of the state. What will happen when the paths of these two characters--Carolina and Vicente--cross? A master of mixing a political thriller and a comedy of errors, Your Hair Is The Border, is a faithful portrait of the political decomposition of a country, and at the same time, a touching portrait of the day-to-day life of millions of Mexicans who live, in every sense, right on the line.
