About the Book

VALKIRIE narra la historia de México durante los últimos dos sexenios dominados por la cruenta guerra contra los carteles del narcotráfico y sus conecciones con importantes políticos, empresarios y corporaciones globales. Vivian camina dentro de una nube púrpura luego de la destrucción de México, entre muertos que no saben que lo están. Es una novela compuesta en capítulos que representan cabezas degolladas, manos mochadas, corazones arrancados. Como dice ella, "me lo dictaron las voces de los desaparecidos que por ahí están". Y es la reacción de las mujeres que cuando se les mete algo en la cabeza, nadie las puede parar. VALKIRIE es un oscuro viaje, un trance, con una mirada profunda, seria, pero también magnética, en otra dimensión, en donde se planea el asesinato de un presidente...o dos. VALKIRIE tells the story of contemporary Mexico´s history, specially through the last twelve years dominated by an erratic and strange drug war against the cartels and its connections with important politicians, business men and global corporations. Vivian walks inside a purple cloud after Mexico ceased to exist, walking among mexicans who doesn´t know they are already dead. Its a novel composed in chapters that represent heads, hands, legs and hearts dismembered. VALKIRIE may be a fiction but its well documented in reality. As Vivian, one of its characters, says, "it´s written by the voices unheard, by the lost ones, the dissapeared: the testimony of the dead that still walk around us". VALKIRIE its a trip, a trance, a dark tour de force inside the mind of a girl induced by a new and powerful illegal drug in a plot that has to do with the attempt to kill the president...or two.
