Abstract
Este contra-canon se compone de obras excluidas del canon oficial (como A sangre y fuego con Pancho Villa, las memorias de Juan Bautista Vargas Arreóla, uno de los Dorados, Ia escolta personal de Villa) pero Aguilar Mora ofrece además relecturas de obras y autores considerados ya parte de Ia literatura oficial de Ia revolución, aunque sea de manera marginal. Ahead flew a little, squat, black figure, with the Mexican flag streaming over him; he wore a floppy sombrero loaded with five pounds of tarnished gold braid -once probably the pride of some imperial hacendado. Following him closely were Manuel Paredes, with riding boots up to his hips, fastened with silver buckles the size of dollars, beating his mount with the flat of a saber; Isidro Amaya, making his horse buck by flapping a hat in his eyes; José Valiente, ringing his immense silver spurs inlaid with turqoises; Jesús Mancilla, his flashing brass chain around his neck; Julian Reyes, with colored pictures of Christ and the Virgin fastened to the front of his sombrero; a struggling tangle of six behind, with Antonio Guzman trying to lasso them, the coils of his horsehair rope soaring out of the dust. Strong, savage, until one looked closer and saw the subtle touch of weakness that death stamps on life -the delicate expression of idiocy all over it.
