BOOK / ANTIGONE GONZALEZ. Sara Uribe

POETRY

In the context of the current war in Mexico, a woman, Antígona González, attempts to narrate the disappearance of her younger brother. She searches for her brother's body among the dead. Antígona González is a conceptual text: a writing machine based on the appropriation, intervention, and rewriting of Sophocles' Antigone; Judith Butler's The Cry of Antigone; María Zambrano's The Tomb of Antigone; Griselda Gambaro's The Furious Antigone; Marguerite Yourcenar's Antigone or the Choice; Harold Pinter's Death, as well as excerpts from the blog of the collective project Menos días aquí (Less Days Here), and newspaper articles: a conjunction of words, voices, and testimonies that comprise a living, organic text. “A broken glass is no longer a glass,” says Antígona González, “and that is the pretext for narrating, through poetry and its subversive reach, her loss.”
