Feria Internacional del Libro Infantil y Juvenil 42: A Literary Adventure in Chapultepec

Some of my fondest childhood memories are rooted in the bookstores of Miguel Ángel de Quevedo. I vividly remember spending hours in the children’s book section, captivated by the illustrations—particularly those from A la orilla del viento, my favorites—while my parents browsed for their next reads. Despite being the last in my class to learn to read, within a month, I was reading faster and better than any of my classmates. Of course, this filled me with pride, but it wasn’t my ability to read that sparked my love for books. It was those long afternoons in the bookstore, often during May’s rainy season—when the weather was more predictable and May always brought showers—combined with the aroma of coffee wafting through the air, and the freedom my parents gave me to choose books without question, that won me over to reading.

I’ve never fought against this love for books; instead, I’ve embraced it wholeheartedly, particularly through book fairs. This year, for example, I was captivated once again at the Feria Internacional del Libro Infantil y Juvenil 42 (FILIJ 42), held in the first section of Chapultepec Park. I find this location perfect—it’s ideal for a stroll through the city, a picnic, and, of course, browsing books. While the event primarily targets younger readers, it’s an excellent opportunity for adults to explore the latest youth literature. This not only allows us to understand younger generations through their literary preferences but also to enjoy the sheer joy of diverse reading. Some titles are enchanting for their design alone. For instance, I was amazed by “Tener un patito es útil” by Isol, a seemingly simple book with an interactive twist: two synchronized stories culminating in a heartwarming ending.

The fair also emphasized interactivity in its spaces. For example, Mango Manila created a cozy, child-friendly stand with tables and chairs for kids to read comfortably. Meanwhile, Combel Editorial featured a padded floor where young children could sit and flip through books safely. Across the stands, numerous activities catered to all ages: workshops, dramatic readings, circus acts, and concerts. One standout was La Perra, blending clown artistry with chamber rock in a family-friendly performance.

I strongly advocate for including youth literature in our regular reading habits. Sometimes, we dismiss these books as not offering intellectual value, but exploring beyond our comfort zones enriches our perspectives. This year’s FILIJ 42 also showcased graphic novels, a format growing in popularity. I was lucky enough to meet Logan Wayne, who shared his creative process behind “Semana inglesa”, a profound exploration of existential questions about whether we are truly where we want to be or merely where we think we should be.

Not everyone’s first encounter with books is as joyful as mine. In Mexico, reading is often seen as a chore rather than a delight, due to how it is introduced. Events like FILIJ are vital for changing this perception. For children, these fairs can create a positive, lasting impression of books; for teens, they offer a wide range of options to discover their path in reading. And for everyone else, it’s a chance to reconnect with books—or simply enjoy a lovely day in Chapultepec Park.

The Best Mexican Books to Gift This Christmas

5 Great Books to Gift (or Treat Yourself) This Christmas

December is a month filled with wonderful things: the weather, the food, gatherings with family and friends, and, with the New Year around the corner, the chance to embrace what many consider a “fresh start.” And with new beginnings come new reading plans for the year ahead. Personally, I’m one of those who enjoy finishing any pending books before the year ends, just in time to map out a new reading journey. With this in mind, and to share both the holiday spirit and a love for Mexican literature, I’ve selected five titles that should definitely make it onto your reading list.

1. El murmullo entre las viñas de Diana Heredia

“My book reminds readers that no matter what happens, life always offers a chance to start over,” says the author about her work. Narrated from three perspectives, the story begins with Valeria, the protagonist, then shifts to her husband Julián’s point of view, and concludes with the voice of the Guadalupe Valley itself. This novel is known for its richly descriptive narrative, transporting readers to the scents, cuisine, and wines of the vineyards in Baja California.

2. Bazar nocturno de Carlos Iván Sánchez

This book is a collection of fantasy literature short stories, infused with humor and poetry. Combining two genres—short stories and microfiction—the author crafts characters and settings with just a few sentences. In the longer pieces, there’s an echo of Edgar Allan Poe’s style. Written over four years, this collection marks the author’s literary debut.

3. Country music de Edgar Trevizo

This poetry collection is divided into five sections, framed by a prologue and an epilogue that give it the feel of a complete narrative. Inspired by nature, small details, and the people of contemporary life, these verses also reflect the author’s cultural depth through reinterpretations of works by other poets.

4. El crimen de Mariana Jobs de Maileth Patiño

This short, mystery-filled novel follows Mariana, a professional accused of orchestrating the murder of her father, whom she never forgave for abandoning her. With her brother’s support, she fights to prove her innocence, only to encounter an unexpected twist that changes everything. Intrigue and suspense drive this modern tale.

5. Antología de Lambert Schlechter

For the first time in Mexico, renowned Luxembourg poet Lambert Schlechter publishes a collection of 79 texts, including letters, poems, and reflections. This bilingual edition, in Spanish and its original language, showcases the richness of the text while being beautifully presented with handcrafted binding by La Cartonera, complete with a one-of-a-kind hand-drawn illustration.

Choosing the perfect gift can be a challenge, but these books bring intrigue, mystery, love, beauty, and humor. With such a wide variety of themes and styles, they’re perfect for giving—or keeping for yourself—this holiday season.

Books, Culture, and Community: Highlights from the 2024 Zócalo Fair

Zócalo Book Fair 2024: A Literary Celebration to Remember

The 2024 Zócalo International Book Fair in Mexico City raised the bar for future literary events. Held from October 11 to 20, the fair transformed the Plaza de la Constitución, better known as the Zócalo, into a hub of literature and culture. With two forums, seven pavilions, and over 300 publisher stands, it offered a staggering 282 free cultural activitiesthat drew in more than 1.2 million visitors. Attendees enjoyed book presentations, lectures, dramatic readings, concerts, activities for children, and even awards ceremonies—all completely free of charge and open to all ages.

Prioritizing Accessibility

A standout feature of this year’s fair was its emphasis on inclusivity. Large screens were installed in the forums to ensure visibility for everyone, and they included a sign language interpreter who translated all presentations in real time. This initiative showcased the event’s commitment to making culture and literature accessible to a wider audience.

Engaging Activities for Every Age

While the event attracted a diverse crowd of young adults and seniors, children’s activities were a major highlight. Interactive read-aloud sessions specially designed for kids stole the spotlight. One unforgettable moment was Julieta Fierro’s presentation of her book, “Astronomía, ¿para qué?” Her dynamic and educational session captivated both children and adults, creating an enriching experience for all.

Literature Meets Advocacy

Beyond the literary offerings, the fair also served as a platform for addressing pressing social issues. A forum titled “Palestina Libre” shed light on the Middle Eastern conflict, featuring writers, poets, and activists. The discussions and readings of Palestinian authors’ works underscored the role of literature in fostering empathy, awareness, and justice for global human rights issues.

Must-Read Highlights

The diverse range of books available delighted readers of all interests. Some standout titles included:

  • “Suerte de principiante: Once ideas sobre el oficio” by Julián Herbert: A fascinating exploration of the writer’s craft, touching on styles, challenges, and the often-hostile environments in which writers create.
  • “Co-laboramos: Manual sobre cooperativas” by Eduardo Enrique Aguilar: A practical guide to cooperative work as a tool for social transformation.
  • Comics and manga from Kamite Editorial, including “Charla tranquila,” winner of the 2023 graphic novel contest by Pura Pinche Fortaleza Cómics.
  • Fanzines by Astrochavo, such as a compelling piece illustrating life during the COVID-19 pandemic, showcased by Editorial Verso Desierto & Campo Literario.

More Than a Fair: A Cultural Celebration

The Zócalo Book Fair went beyond books to offer a holistic cultural experience. Visitors enjoyed the lively ambiance of the Centro Histórico, with organ grinders’ tunes, traditional candy vendors, and children playing with toy airplanes enriching the festive atmosphere. This unique blend of culture, literature, and everyday life made the event a truly unforgettable experience.

The Flavors of History: Traditional Mexican Recipes Inspired by Sor Juana

To connect with a culture, especially one as rich and ancient as Mexico’s, we can turn to books that recount its history, as well as research that includes maps and photographs to illustrate these stories. Taking it a step further, museums offer access to archaeological artifacts, reproductions of codices, and historical clothing. Visiting an archaeological site, exploring small towns, or walking through the streets of a historic center brings us even closer to the echoes of the past.

However, nothing transports us back in time quite like food. Flavors evoke memories, and certain ingredients, unique to specific regions, provide not just identity but also a sense of nationality. In this context, Mexican cuisine, recognized as a World Heritage, stands out as a living tradition passed down from generation to generation. While recipes are widely shared online today, few books capture the essence of this tradition as beautifully as the Cookbook of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz.

This special edition, reissued in 1979 by historians Muriel de González Mariscal and Guadalupe Pérez San Vicente, is remarkable not only for its content but also for its presentation. Designed by the Taller Gráfica de Comala, only 150 copies were printed, each handmade with original engravings and movable metal type. The book features an introductory text by Sol Rubín de la Borbolla, a prominent scholar of Mexican culture.

The book includes traditional recipes like cheese fritters, ricotta and wind fritters, hojuelas, and sweets made with cream, beet, walnut, butter, mamey, and pineapple. These recipes do more than please the palate; they invite us to reflect on time. What does the past taste like? Often, a particular flavor takes us back to childhood or a meaningful moment. Cooking these recipes immerses us in the 17th century, a time when the flavors of America, Europe, and the Arab world blended to create something new: Mexican identity.

While change is a natural part of life, humans strive to preserve the things that connect us to the past. Traditions are a cornerstone of our identity, and preserving them is a shared responsibility. Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz may never have imagined that her book would resonate across centuries, but she left us a fragment of history. Through this text, we rediscover her daily life and her relationship with gastronomy, extending her legacy beyond her writings and historical contributions.

Discover the 2024 International Book Fair of Anthropology and History in Mexico

The International Book Fair of Anthropology and History 2024 took place at the renowned National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City, located on the iconic Paseo de la Reforma. This museum, known for its 22 permanent exhibit halls, two temporary exhibition rooms, and three auditoriums, also houses the National Library of Anthropology and History. It is a treasure trove of cultural and historical knowledge, inviting visitors to explore the past and make meaningful connections with their heritage.

Each year, the museum hosts this vibrant book fair in its courtyard, where past and present come together. For 2024, the theme was “Cultural Heritage and Sustainability,” with Belize and the Mexican state of Quintana Roo as the guests of honor. The event was packed with activities, including book presentations, panel discussions, lectures, tributes, film screenings, outdoor concerts, and workshops. With more than 90 exhibitors, an outdoor forum, and five tents for exhibits and workshops, the 35th edition of the fair was held from August 8 to 18, solidifying its place as a major cultural event in Mexico and Latin America.

Highlights from the 2024 Fair

One of the main attractions was the presentation of the Antonio García Cubas Award, which honors outstanding editorial work in anthropology and history across nine categories. The fair offered a variety of booths, some featuring traditional Mexican music from Ediciones Pentagrama, known for their wide range of CDs that spotlight Mexico’s alternative music scene.

The folk art and tradition of Mexico were on display at the stand of Cartonería Martha Salvador, which showcased beautifully handcrafted pieces that reflect Mexican creativity and cultural themes.

The fascination with cemeteries: reflections from Panteón Jardín

Panteón Jardín is located in San Ángel, Mexico City, and was established over 80 years ago in 1941. It’s vast and has so many sections that it’s easy to get lost among the crypts and corridors where the remains of ordinary people and artists from Mexican cinema, music, and the rest of the arts are kept. Names like Germán Valdés “Tin Tan”, Pedro Armendáriz, Maricruz Olivier, Marcelo Chávez, Fela Fábregas, Seki Sano, Andrés Soler, Fernando Valadés, and Fernando Wagner are just a few of those buried there. And in one of those rows lies my grandfather.

I confess I never met my grandfather, so there was no affection or desire to visit and clean his mausoleum. But there is a fascination with visiting Panteón Jardín. When people ask about my fascination with the cemetery, I can never give a concise answer. Is it because it reminds me of my childhood visits? Is it the fresh air from the many trees? Is it the silence provided by the dead? Maybe it’s a combination of all of these. The only thing I know for sure is that as I grew up, I realized I wasn’t the only one fascinated by cemeteries, their history, stories, and mysteries.

Death has been a topic of interest in every culture, wrapped in mysticism and rich in tales. For some civilizations, death symbolized not just the end but served as a central axis for existence. This human desire to transcend or leave something behind has motivated the construction of wonders like the Taj Mahal, the pyramids of Egypt, and even the pyramids of Teotihuacán, where recent discoveries have found burial chambers. Of course, these places were reserved for the privileged, like rulers or royalty. For the rest of society, there are other places like cemeteries, English graveyards, or even urns in some churches.

While some people prefer to stay away from such places and say we should respect the graveyard, there are people like me and Mariana Enriquez who find more than just oblivion among the tombs. “Someone Walks Over Your Grave” is a collection of stories about the author’s encounters with graves. From a flooded cemetery, Elvis Presley’s burial site, the beauty of an abandoned graveyard, the tomb of a poet buried standing up, tombstones protected by ghostly dogs, to miraculous children and voodoo priestesses. These are just a few examples; the author has gathered many journeys and visits to different cemeteries worldwide.

The beauty of Mariana Enriquez’s work lies not only in the places she visits but in the meaning and reflection she derives from them. After each visit, something inside her changes, and she is never the same again. Probably, all worthwhile journeys do that to us: they change us, reveal new thoughts, and allow us to see new perspectives. For Enriquez, visits to cemeteries are not just tourist trips but a deep search within herself to know what lies beyond. At the same time, her stories intertwine with her own life, redefining her experience and ours as readers. Her descriptions of the sites and the atmosphere are focused, detailed, and rich in specifics, offering everything so that anyone approaching the text can feel present there. However, above all, I find “Someone Walks Over Your Grave” an invitation to explore more, to visit places we might consider only for the dead, to reconcile with the place where we all will eventually arrive.

Festival Sol Quieto: A Celebration of Music, Poetry, and Community

The Monument to the Bicentennial of National Independence in Mexico is better known as the “Estela de Luz” because, at night, it lights up and becomes part of the city’s landscape, thanks to its impressive height of 104 meters and 6 meters wide. Located on Paseo de la Reforma, it’s colloquially known as the “suavicrema” due to its pale yellow color and shape, reminiscent of Suavicrema cookies. At its base is the Digital Culture Center (CCD). The CCD has been a community space inviting reflection and hosting independent cultural projects for over thirteen years.

The CCD offers a diverse cultural program that includes immersive concerts, art and audiovisual exhibitions, workshops for all ages, film screenings, and recreational activities like the Festival Sol Quieto, which is held on Saturday, July 20th. This event aimed to bridge music, poetry, and video, featuring an independent book fair, video poetry screenings, an open mic for sharing poetry, and performances by artists Hospital de México, Sebastián Rojas, and Grito Exclamación.

The turnout was surprising, sometimes making the expansive CCD space feel too small for the enthusiastic crowd. Unlike typical literature and book events where attendees range from teenagers to seniors, this festival primarily attracted young adults in their 20s and 30s, often accompanied by friends. This demographic set the tone for the open mic, which featured voices of protest, social critique, and self-reflection from a young perspective. Not only did the young attendees fill the venue, but they also brought the event to life.

Elefanta, Miau Ediciones, U-Tópicas, Palíndroma, and Saca La Lengua Fanzine were among the editorial offerings. The event predominantly featured poetry, but there were also general literature titles and various fanzines. Highlights included books from Eloisa Cartonera, echoing the style of La Cartonera press, the award-winning poetry collection Retrato de un gusano blanco by Sayuri Sánchez, and the reflective stories of life’s fragility in Las cicadas by Yael Weiss.

The event’s pinnacle was the open mic, where unpublished writers could share their work. The anonymity allowed the reading of bold pieces like “These are the love stories we tell as children of the narco-state,” protesting societal violence without fear of retribution. Listening to these young poets prompts reflection on shared experiences living in this city at this historical moment, makes us curious about their influences, and underscores the importance of maintaining spaces for sharing music and poetry.

Del silencio al estruendo  Sara Sefchovich

Throughout the history of humanity, women and the fact of being women have been overlooked—until very recently. It’s important to make this distinction because those who haven’t thought about it should: education—both at home and in school—is almost entirely conceived from the male perspective. Women have had to understand the world through the lens of men. This perspective isn’t necessarily wrong, but it is biased. The world, as seen by women, is different and shouldn’t be expected to be the same because the experience of being a man and being a woman is different.

The way of understanding the world, history, and culture has been through men. It wasn’t until the late 1800s that emphasis began to be placed on the fact that women existed beyond their domestic roles, that they could think like anyone else and had rights, including the right to express their thoughts. Before this, it was known that women wrote, but entering that field and being taken seriously was not easy. Many women had to sign their works with pseudonyms or initials to get them published. Virginia Woolf, in “A Room of One’s Own,” acknowledges the class privilege she had that allowed her to write, coming from a wealthy family. She analyzes the paths Jane Austen and Emily Brontë had to tread and yet, throughout the book, she experiences moments of being ignored and underestimated for being a woman in a man’s world.

It is from this foundation that Sara Sefchovich draws to write “Del silencio al estruendo.” The author seeks, with this essay, to discover what women write about, from where they write, and to understand if there is a difference between female and male literature, and if so, where that difference lies. She undertakes the task of first establishing that there was a time when women could access the education that allowed them to read and write, and that there was a second period of peace in society when culture and the arts could flourish, and it was then that they wrote. Sefchovich seeks to understand the fabric of women writers and their works, observing the panorama throughout history, different cultures, and how it has changed over time, hoping to find a pattern or trend that explains what, how, and why women write.

One cannot write about the unknown. When women began to write, they did so about what surrounded them, and for many of them, the axis of their lives was their family and marriage, so they started there. This worked against them, of course, leading to the notion that women could only write romantic novels. Time had to pass for women’s writing to enter the realms of realism, naturalism, modernism, and genres like poetry, theater, and essays. The style and theme of each writer are individual and determined by their environment, ideology, values, social circumstances, and countless factors that give them a unique character. While this rule also applies to men, their social conditions remain different because the education provided to women and men continues to be distinct.

This book seeks to answer the major questions and inquiries that have been made about literature written by women, considering the context, history, and circumstances in which it has been created. This essay is a watershed between the past and the future, as it analyzes the parameters with which literature has been measured in general and sets the guidelines for how women’s literary work might be read and considered in the future.
