About the Book

(English description below) Lo desconocido, inexplicable, distópico y sorprendente convergen en El atolladero, cuentos de misterio en lugares inesperados, un libro de historias cortas que nos adentran a un ámbito brumoso de senderos misteriosos. En ellos transitan personajes que súbitamente enfrentan circunstancias que los trasladan al confín de la vida y la muerte, a situaciones inverosímiles o a sitios cotidianos, aunque bajo condiciones inhabituales. Lugares en donde tiempo y espacio se trastocan, planteando enigmas incomprensibles para quienes ahí se encuentran. Con lenguaje natural y directo, el autor Jorge A. Ontiveros nos atrae a sus fascinantes narraciones, que nos conducen por parajes insólitos donde la realidad troca en ficción y la ficción en realidad. La colección reúne veinte cuentos que nos hacen viajar lo mismo en un tren por un túnel a una metrópoli del futuro que descender a las entrañas de una sofocante mina, navegar en una embarcación en un trayecto sin retorno a estar frente a una repentina e interminable muralla. Sus personajes, gente común, de carne y hueso, se transfiguran casi en espectros cuando se mudan a extrañas latitudes que alteran su sentido de ser y retan la noción de pasado, presente y futuro. Entre los protagonistas de El atolladero, cuentos de misterio en lugares inesperados, su autor nos asoma al bajo mundo en el que opera un investigador cosmopolita de renombre, cuya eficacia e inflexibilidad hacen que su reputación oscile entre la ética de un detective justo y la frialdad de un severo justiciero. A esos personajes ficticios se suman otros -arrancados de la vida real- mediante los cuales el autor nos lleva a tiempos de la Revolución mexicana: un legendario caudillo del Norte, una joven revolucionaria que duerme abrazando su fusil o un potro errante de relincho fantasmal, escenas que evocan aquella distante y cruenta subversión. A los veinte cuentos cortos se suman nueve piezas poéticas, inspiración de este escritor mexicano, que redondean su trabajo literario.


El atolladero, cuentos de misterio en lugares inesperados (The quagmire, mystery tales in unexpected places) is a book written in Spanish consisting of a collection of twenty short stories written by author Jorge A. Ontiveros. Most of the stories describe characters who suddenly find themselves in strange situations, unknown places, or dystopian scenarios. These diverse characters reach a point where they get stuck -literally and metaphorically- facing circumstances that defy their reason, puzzles them, and pushes them to life-and-death latitudes, sometimes with no return. The author employs everyday language through nitid prose very easily to understand. In addition to his stories, Jorge A. Ontiveros shares nine poems as a bonus to readers.
