Author Talk and Discussion

Sara Uribe will discuss her poetic novel,Antígona González, which is infused with the story of Antigone (as best known from Sophocles’ ancient Greek tragedy) and set in modern-day Mexico.

“As the families of so many disappeared throughout Mexico, Sara Uribe’s ANTÍGONA GONZÁLEZ roams a convulsed land looking for the body of Tadeo, her brother. As urgent as it is delicate, ANTÍGONA GONZÁLEZ summons the dead and brings them to our tables, for the day we cease sharing memory and language with them, we ourselves will become loss, vanished sign, oblivion. “
