VILCHIS FRAUSTRO, José Carlos. Open bodies, Insatiable Bodies. Narratological Models and an Old Curse in El Sinaloa, by Guillermo Rubio y de Vizcarrondo. Acta poét [online]. 2022, vol.43, n.1, pp.113-136.  Epub Apr 25, 2022. ISSN 2448-735X.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.ap.2022.43.1.458726.

Luis Manuel Salcido Arispuro, whose alias gives its name to the novel El Sinaloa, is a policeman with a dual personality: an agent in the service of the Mexican State, which in turn serves the interests of the Sinaloa drug cartel mafia of the late 1990s. Hand in hand with Guillermo Rubio’s narrative, the reader will be introduced to the world of the mafia, with its impunity and self-confidence, where amid parties, excesses and violence, we will discover a charismatic character, with an insatiable hunger and of an exacerbated voracity. Given this, it is valid to ask ourselves if it is a normal condition of a character of its type, or if it is a curse of unsuspected, as well as ancestral dyes.

Keywords : Mexican Literature; 20th Century; Mexico; Guillermo Rubio; Folklore.
