An Excerpt from Itzel I: A Tlatelolco Awakening to commemorate this October 2020 the 52nd anniversary of the Tlatelolco Massacre
¡El dos de octubre no se olvida!
A tale of two conferences in two cities more than one decade and three thousand kilometres apart, this true to life comic double scene from Itzel I: A Tlatelolco Awakening, speaks, if rather tongue in cheek (or hand in pants) to the problem of letting small political differences obscure the need for fundamental change and resistance to tyranny, whether from a military dictatorship or a one party state like '68 Mexico which wants to be one. It is also a celebration of swearing a lo mexicano.

in particular the word pendejo in its many variations as well as its original meaning, this short true to life excerpt from Itzel I: A Tlatelolco Awakening, still has its serious side. A tale of two conferences in two cities more than one decade and three thousand kilometres apart, it speaks to the problem of letting factionalism and small scale political differences obscure the need for fundamental change and resistance to tyranny, whether from a military dictatorship or a one party state that wishes to be one.
When it was first shortlisted for the New Brunswick book awards Mrs. Dunster's Fiction Prize, an award it later won. This excerpt opens the novel and gives you a bit of a roadmap for where it will take you, as does the first section of Four Uneasy Pieces.
