The 3 best books by Sofía Guadarrama Collado

The writer feeds on singularities. Literature needs groundbreaking stories like the one that Sofía Guadarrama offers us in each of her novels. These singularities serve to break with the flat story, the average and lukewarm. Because beyond conventions, customs and other records necessary for coexistence in society, in backwaters such as literature we seek difference and stridency. A way to break with everything to recognize ourselves without corseting; to have a more critical point of view or to find soul mates of the most unexpected.

In his comings and goings between very different genres such as science fiction or historical fiction, Sofía Guadarrama moves us with her vivid characters outside the usual plane. If it is one of the novels of the historical series Great Tlatoanis of the Empire, we can find a review that complements the official chronicles. If the thing is science fiction, that existential intention of the great stories of this genre sneaks into the plot. If he finally tackles an intimate story, his plot throbs and even bleeds.

Top 3 recommended novels by Sofía Guadarrama Collado

The origin of all evil

The drama always seeks its repair. The harsh ultimate truth appears for everyone sooner or later. There are cases in which the literature gives a complete answer to all the questions that remain. The uprooting, the detachment of a daughter from her mother places us in that space of the most complete alienation. Just the common place where we all find ourselves once stripped of all kinds of artifices.

Renata is fourteen years old and certain that she is happy because of the death of her mother: Sabina. Readers are unaware of her impulses and precisely that unknown is what keeps us entangled in this story that shows complex characters, traced with a pen that undoubtedly knows how to tell stories.

Sofía Guadarrama Collado shows what a being is capable of when jealousy becomes her greatest motivation. With this novel, the Mexican author confirms that her imagination is constantly challenging the boundaries of a literary universe that cannot be limited to a genre of historical novel, science fiction, fictionalized biography, or historical thriller. Sofia already has our attention and reading complicity.

Piso 931

Many readers of Sofía Guadarrama may not agree with me in this selection. But it is that the CiFi has won me since my beginnings as readers. I love delving into any story that borders on the existential from a point of view as distant and at the same time as suggestively panoramic as the fantastic.

Furthermore, the excuse, the starting point of the virtual as a black hole that consumes reality, absorbing us all with centripetal force, is always of great interest. The RRSS and its magnetism, the Internet and its consideration as an absolute revolution of our existence...

If you think you already know the Universe you are wrong. In a world destroyed by war, virtual space is the only viable reality. Are social networks the best option to seek happiness?
Behind the ideal world there is always a dark lie. Here, God is one more user.

The conquest of Mexico Tenochtitlan

The conquest of the new world had a very different consideration for me since I saw Mel Gibson's Apocalypse. The bad known and the bad to be known as a paradigm of human evolution. The perverse castes of power and their gods and the conquerors with their god. A juicy stake to discover it from all its sources.

On November 8, 1519, Hernán Cortés entered the island city of Mexico Tenochtitlan for the first time in the company of 450 Europeans and approximately 6,000 Tlaxcalteca, Cholulteca, Huexotzinca and Totonaca soldiers.

500 years after the event that completely changed the history of the Mexica Empire and the entire American continent, Sofía Guadarrama Collado gives the reader The Conquest of Mexico Tenochtitlan, version of the Mexica. A novel that brings us closer to the other side of history -placing the conquerors in a very distant plane- and helps us to understand through the eyes of Moctezuma, Cuitláhuac and Cuauhtémoc what they themselves did not know and how complex it was to live the unexpected appearance of a terrifyingly unknown race of men, animals, weaponry, language, customs, religion and monarchy.
