Sixth Avenue is a fiction book with stories that could be real, where you will find a series of stories that revolve around one of the emblematic points of the Historic Center in Zone 1 of the capital.
This well-known passage has seen hundreds of stories parade and as the author describes it: «… that Sixth Avenue of Guatemala City, vibrant, diverse, magical, full of memories; that avenue, old always young, which is like a blank canvas in which anything can happen…»
The best:
- It contains 18 stories dating from 1977 to ending in 2076 with The possibilities of our grandchildren.
- It has illustrations of the iconic Paseo de la Sexta.
- Address different plots in each of the stories, from stories with happy endings to narratives of social context.
Why we recommend it:
The guataselteco Jonathan Menkos Zeissig plays with the time described in these triptychs, through allegories and an urban, innovative and social magical realism that subtly develops each of the narratives that unleash a series of events that disrupt the present and reconfigure the future.
We tell you that it is already in pre-sale from March 9 to 15 through Sophos! You may also be interested in the book: Under the same day, which is Jonathan’s first book.
