Crisis: The roots are the last to dry by Jorge Majfud Paperback Book. Crisis by Jorge Majfud. The characters are individuals and a collective. Each space, each stone is unique and represents, builds, and reflects the entire mosaic. Rarely do I finish a book wishing I had written it, or encouraged to attempt similar adventures; a pleasure or miracle whose frequency the years have only managed to dull.". Crisis by Jorge Majfud Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Crisis is a mosaic novel whose protagonists are multiple and yet one. The mosaic is composed of different moments of the drama, anguish, and hopes of Hispanic immigrants in the United States in the context of the Great Recession. Physical violence, and above all, moral violence, permeate every moment of this novel, like the wind and silence through the tunnels of a troglodyte city. The characters are individuals and a collective. Each space, each stone is unique and represents, builds, and reflects the entire mosaic. "Rarely do I come away from a book with the certainty of having explored a solid, coherent, rich world, a true mosaic that, with the necessary perspective, reveals its beauty and gives access to a message that transcends the simple composition of its pieces. Rarely do I finish a book wishing I had written it, or encouraged to attempt similar adventures; a pleasure or miracle whose frequency the years have only managed to dull." Javier Couto, writer, Université Paris-Sorbonne. "Crisis is a harrowing book that presents a harsh story, full of injustice, pain, and abuse of power. It is a very rich work, teeming with dozens of characters trying to survive in a world governed by a ruthless economic system. Thus, Majfud's brilliant denunciation appeals to dignity and humanism in a bitter and discouraging story. Crisis is a splendid novel, skillfully constructed, that presents us with numerous ways to observe our times and find points of impact to transform them." Alberto García-Teresa, Revista Sur. "As the author himself has stated several times, few things are more real than fiction, because it is through this art form that we can experience the truth of emotions, the full complexity of the human being, a great and miserable creature tormented by its passions and its ideas. Crisis, the mosaic novel, is, in turn, a piece of that universal drama." Karen Barahona, Baldwin Wallace University. "A series of testimonies that reflect the hardships of Hispanic immigrants in the United States during the Great Recession, told in short, sharp, and at times violent texts, with a truly accomplished use of oral expression, make this text a moving, uncluttered, moralizing tale, an authentic reflection of how fiction can tell the truth." Guillermo Roz, Somos España"Crisis is constructed as a sociological and cultural narrative of immigrants. The physical and moral violence to which they are condemned leaves a mark on their identity construction: the impossibility of existing in the light of day turns them into subjects who become shadows of themselves." Silvia M. Gianni. Università degli Studi di Milano. "Majfud's work serves as a structural framework to explain a long series of cultural, social, and economic factors that surround the reality of most Hispanic Americans who migrate to the United States, as well as that of US citizens of Latin American origin." Leonor Taiano, The Invisible Country, Indiana University.
