Tiempo transcurrido es un calendario azteca con música de rock. Las historias de este libro ocurren a lo largo de dieciocho años mexicanos, enmarcados en dos fechas decisivas: el Movimiento estudiantil de 1968 y el terremoto de 1985. Con destreza, Juan Villoro sitúa a personajes imaginarios en circunstancias reales: lo que pasó vuelve a pasar de otra manera. En este viaje al pasado la música es fundamental; los sucesos avanzan al compás de las transformaciones del rock. Retrato de una generación, Tiempo transcurrido también ofrece un mapa de la Ciudad de México y sus muy distintos barrios.
