Synopsis
Juan Preciado made a promise to his mother, who is dying, that he would go to her birthplace and look for his father, Pedro Paramo. She remembers a village, robust and full of life, that no longer exists--Comala is a decaying town, surrounded by mirages. Pedro Paramo may or may not be alive; he is described by one traveler as "living bile," who "died years ago." Rulfo did not use a linear plot, but a montage of images from the living and the dead to tell a story of loss, fate, and bleakness. According to the introduction by Susan Sontag, this book sparked a dramatic change in Latin American literature, injecting (with the work of Borges) the magical realism which then influenced Gabriel Garcia Marquez--who knows the entire book of Pedro Paramo by heart.

Publisher's Note
Beseeched by his dying mother to locate his father, Pedro Paramo, whom they fled from years ago, Juan Preciado sets out for Comala. Comala is a town alive with whispers and shadows - a place seemingly populated only by memory and hallucinations. Built on the tyranny of the Paramo family, its barren and broken-down streets echo the voices of tormented spirits sharing the secrets of the past. First published to both critical and popular acclaim in 1955, Pedro Paramo represented a distinct break with earlier, largely "realist" novels from Latin America. Rulfo's entrancing mixture of vivid sensory images, violent passions, and inexplicable sorcery - a style that has come to be known as "magical realism" - has exerted a profound influence on subsequent Latin American writers.

Industry Reviews
"With its dense interweaving of time, its routine interaction of the living and the dead, its surreal sense of the everyday, and with simultaneous--and harmonious--coexistence of apparently incompatible realities, this brief novel by the Mexican writer Juan Rulfo strides through unexplored territory with a sure and determined step."
New York Times Book Review - James Polk (08/06/1995)
