Three unconnected people travel north, each passing in isolation
over one of the most troubled and controversial dividing lines in
the world: the Mexico?US border. But in a melee of language and
blood, their stories and the stories of those they meet of a young
serial killer, a waitress and graphic novelist and her lover (and
former professor), and an outsider artist in a mental institution
gradually begin to coalesce. Daring in both its protagonists and
its structure, Edmundo Paz Sold n's Norte is a fast-paced, vivid,
and operatic blending of distinct voices. Together, they lay bare
the darkness of the line over which these souls like so many others
have passed. A prominent member of a new generation of Latin
American writers, Paz Soldan stands in defiant opposition to the
magical realism of the past century, instead grounding his work in
political, economic, and historical realities. Norte is no
exception; it is a tale of displacement and the very human costs of
immigration. Shocking with its violence even as it thrills with its
language, confounding rather than cowering under the clich of the
murderous, drug-dealing immigrant, Norte is a disquieting,
imperative work an undeniable reflection of our fragmented modern
world.
