Mi Vida no tan Secreta (in Spanish)
Servin, Juan Manuel
Synopsis "Mi Vida no tan Secreta (in Spanish)"
Mi vida no tan secreta es un fresco de familia que se entrecruza con la historia social del entonces D.F., a partir de 1950 y hasta el final del Salinato. Es la historia de Lucio, un patriarca fallido en sus sueños de grandeza que se mira en el reflejo torcido de sus hijos menores, agobiados por la complicidad filial. Lucio es el proveedor de los altibajos y pequeños logros de su familia, marginada de la bonanza de un sistema político que derivó en idiosincrasia nacional. Autobiografía sin falsos arrepentimientos, bañada en alcohol e ironía, que increpa la historia oficial de verdades impostadas sobre una sociedad donde nadie es inocente. En este relato, J.M. Servín expresa su evidente visión de los de abajo: su familia y entorno como mapa sin brújula de la modernidad fallida de un país. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION My Not-So-Secret Life is a family portrait that intersects with the social history of a city then known as D.F., from the 1950s to the end of the Salinas presidency. It is Lucio's story, a patriarch who has failed in his dreams of grandeur, a man who sees himself in the twisted reflections of his younger children, who are anxious over their filial complicity. Lucio is the one who provides the ups and downs and small achievements of his family, excluded from the prosperity of a political system that resulted in national idiosyncrasy. An autobiography free of false remorse, bathed in alcohol and irony, that rebukes the official history of those made-up truths about a society where no one is innocent. In this tale, J. M. Servín expresses his blatant vision of the underdogs: his family and his environment as the map without compass of a country's flawed modernity.
