Book description
En la que sin duda es su crónica más emocionante, Juan Villoro cuenta cómo estuvo en condiciones de comparar la intensidad de dos de los terremotos más terribles que ha sufrido América Latina: el de 1985 en la ciudad de México y el de 2010 en Santiago de Chile. Convencido de que estos desastres deben contarse con las más representativas de las voces implicadas, Villoro tomó los relatos de sus compañeros de temblor y construyó un concierto de impresiones en el que no faltan el suspenso o el absurdo. Además de una arrebatadora narración coral sobre las distintas estrategias para sobrevivir al espanto, 8.8: El miedo en el espejo recurre al ensayo, al relato y al testimonio de otros escritores que, como Kleist, han narrado terremotos verdaderos o ficticios a fin de descubrir la dimensión literaria de una realidad movediza.Al otorgarle a Juan Villoro el Premio Internacional de Periodismo Rey de España a principios de 2010, el jurado destacó no sólo la calidad de la escritura, o la clarividencia en la elección del tema, sino las múltiples perspectivas plásticas, musicales, literarias, políticas y sociológicas \
