But it is, after all, because the author of Locks of fate must take stock of all your atavism to explain who and what was the character in the play is simple and English called Thomas ship carpenter, life without conflict until it is compounded in the meeting and making women in a small town, big hell. Here the interest really starts to follow the trail of this deadly cargo nomadic and whose photograph appears on the cover of the book of 127 pages, and still crown, testimonial, the tomb of Thomas E. Taylor in the pantheon of Sanjuanes, the scene where he started and is locking the text.

Jaime Torres Bodet
When the opinion that "the best quality of the modern novelist is, therefore, in its scrupulous fidelity to the memory, probably does not relate to historical memory but to face the writer and his readers in search of what, more recently, Milan Kundera called the enigma of self, that is, in the words of Czech, "one of the fundamental issues that underpin the novel itself."
While writing a novel is "so appealing as a journey," as also the same Torres Bodet, it seems that the task was to disengage Trasviña Taylor an essential and ineffable tenderness that is evident in the narrative approach. Maybe this book took many years to appear, rather than lack of time or will to write, and reluctance to meet with the ancestral images. Old and dear, after all.

People, people, customs, traditions, popular talk and gossip, penetrate daily rhythms (as he owned the place, because it is their home) in the body of the novel, the bustle of circumstances is delicious, lovingly familiar:
was already a religious rite of the domestic habits placed at the curb the armchair in the evenings to catch the wind, with the nickname Coromuel, blowing from the south, between five and six in the evening calm, sesteantes ...
If you have not read, is living in mortal sin, really.
