About this book
AGAINST THE SEASON is a consciously old-fashioned, stylicized [sic] novel about cycles of birth, growth, and death ... An old woman comes to terms with her dead sister while reading her diaries, her pregnant housekeeper teaches her shy grandnephew a little courage; a middle-aged couple yearn to overcome loneliness, an elderly couple court in the face of public ridicule, and Dina Pyros, used furniture dealer and town butch, is courted, public and privately, by Rosemary Hopwood, social worker, nervous, aristocractic and very determined.

¿Cuántas existencias caben en una sola vida? Ante la ventana de una casa que está a punto de abandonar, un joven se hace esta pregunta. Sabe que se halla en una encrucijada y que frente a él se despliegan dos trayectos posibles: el amor o la muerte, el azar o la decisión, fluir o destruir. En la sinuosa respuesta a su duda, su casa será habitada por seis fantasmas, seis escritores que buscaron en México, sin más método que el exceso, una idea o un espejismo absoluto: André Bretón, B. Traven, William Burroughs, Malcolm Lowry, Jane Bowles y Alexander von Humboldt. En 42 metros cuadrados, todo objeto, toda persona, se convierte en un obstáculo, pero recorrer su estrechez nos va entrenando para nuestra propia insuficiencia. En esta novela cronicada --homenaje y parodia de la vida de los santos o de los césares--, Fabrizio Mejía Madrid nos recuerda que vivir en mudanza permanente puede ser tan sólo una forma de inmovilidad. Pase usted: está en su casa.
