La justicia sigue dormida

¿QUÉ TAL DURMIÓ? gritó Germán MDCCCXCII (1892) veces deseando perturbar el sueño irreverente de los ladrones.

Extrañaré su humor artero y la intima ventana que cotidianamente compartía.

Sus frescas letras permitían colarme a mi México cotidiano, brujo y distante.

Dehesa deja un vacío pero su llamado a la justicia sigue vigente. Carajo.



Justice is still sleeping

HOW DID YOU SLEEP? Screamed German MDCCCXCII (1892) times wishing to disturb the thieves’ irreverent siesta.

I’ll miss his mordant humor and the intimate window he shared.

His fresh words allowed me to enter my contemporary, enchanted and distant Mexico.

Dehesa left a void but his call for justice is still here. Carajo.

NOTE: Mexican writer German Dehesa, winner of the 2008 Don Quixote Prize awarded by the government of Castilla-La Mancha, died of cancer at his home in Mexico City, days after making the illness public in his newspaper column, the daily Reforma, to which he was a contributor. He was 66. More info on this blog
