arenta años rumiando el mito de mi padre, las infinitas versiones de mi padre.

A sus cuarenta años, como un road trip, sin más referente que una fotografía vieja, una hija emprende la búsqueda de su padre. Mientras narra la decisión de ir a conocerlo y el viaje que la lleva de Ciudad de México a Michoacán, iremos construyendo, junto a ella, el pasado, los amores, las alegrías, los accidentes, las ausencias.

«Todos somos hijos de Pedro Páramo , nos dice Alma Delia Murillo, ante el factor tan común que es el abandono del hogar por parte del padre. Frente a este hecho, ella se desnuda en cada capítulo para hablarnos de la necesidad de reconstruir ese símbolo de peso universal, para lograr definirse.

Su vida, entonces, se despliega como el entramado de esta búsqueda: entre siete hermanos y una madre trabajadora, la protagonista crece y reflexiona no sólo sobre su biografía, sino también sobre la historia de un país profundamente dividido en donde las mujeres no han contado lo suficiente, desde su punto de vista, el relato del padre.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

I write to be unburdened from the weight of forty years ruminating on the infinite versions of the myth of my father.

At forty years old, as if in a road trip, with nothing but an old photograph, a daughter goes on a search for her father. As she gives an account of both her decision to meet him and the trip taking her from Mexico City to Michoacán, readers accompany her reconstruction of the past its love, its joys, its accidents and absences.

«We are all children of Pedro Páramo, Alma Delia Murillo tells us, as she deals with a father who decided to leave home. Written with the utmost sincerity, Murillo rebuilds that universal parental symbol, chapter by chapter, in an attempt to define her own self.

Her life unfolds as this search does. With seven brothers and a working mother, the main character grows up examining her own life and the history of a deeply divided country, in which women have not sufficiently told, from their own point of view, the story of the father.
