About this listen
Novela que cuenta el nacimiento de una actitud ante la vida: la que modificó, hasta sus raíces, nuestras formas de comportamiento.
De perfil es un rito de iniciación gozoso, agresivo, desenfadado, lleno de ironía pero también de rigor y de esperanza, recoge literalmente varias de las más antiguas y sólidas tradiciones pero también se abre a una gama infinita de posibilidades técnicas y narrativas.
Su lenguaje es una necesidad de contenido: como el mundo que aquí se despliega es el de la juventud, de quienes empiezan a erguirse por sus propios pies—y con la pequeña ayuda de sus amigos—ante la existencia para revolucionarla o enajenarse en ella, las formas y las palabras son jóvenes también, muestran una vitalidad feroz y un propósito firme de revitalizar el arte.
En palabras de la crítica.
"Hoy, y sobre todo en el futuro, De perfil es y será un documento del tiempo que vivimos. Es, a pesar de gestos, altivoces, desapegos y cinismos, la novela de quien busca, sabiendo que no habrá de encontrarlo, el paraíso de la inocencia perdida una vez que se ha perdido la historia."
-Ramón Xirau (1967)
"José Agustín lanza la piedra, la novela, y esconde la mano. Quien lea este libro observará que el autor es un caso asombroso de precocidad. Maneja a sus personajes e historias con una seguridad verdaderamente notable."
-Emmanuel Carballo (1966)

Story
Novela de amor de una intensidad sobrecogedora, aborda con su mordaz sentido del humor la distancia entre México y Estados Unidos, el amor, la ira y la complejidad de las relaciones de pareja y el antimachismo. Con una prosa ágil y desenfadada, José Agustín traza el destino de Eligio y Susana en un mundo gris, superficial, aunque capaz de torcer el rumbo de cualquiera. El retrato de los personajes, a todas luces entrañables, y la manera como la prosa se extiende sobre la geografía y la relación amorosa, hacen de Ciudades desiertas una gran novela.

Casi un millón de mujeres combatió en las filas del Ejército Rojo durante la segunda guerra mundial, pero su historia nunca ha sido contada. Este libro reúne los recuerdos de cientos de ellas, mujeres que fueron francotiradoras, condujeron tanques o trabajaron en hospitales de campaña. Su historia no es una historia de la guerra, ni de los combates, es la historia de hombres y mujeres en guerra.
