Word began to spread about Santa María’s collection of hotels. The price and quality were far superior than anywhere else in northeast Mexico. Newspapers across the country hailed it as the “Acapulco of the North,” as if they had completely forgotten about the violent uprisings of years past that led to the hotels being built in the first place. Reporters raved about local foods like salpicón de jaiba and carne a la Tampiqueña. They applauded the warm waters and swaying palm trees. There was special attention to the immaculate flower collections in the lobbies too. As more and more visitors came, more hotels opened, and they began to expand their offerings to stand out.
A novella by Nicholas Gill and Alejandro Cartagena.
A collection of 151 “expired photographs” that were thrown out, collected from a tianguis outside of Mexico City by photographer and archivist Alejandro Cartagena and then pieced together and reimagined by writer Nicholas Gill. The 151-page novella tells the tale of the fictional town of Santa María de las Rocas, located in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.
The story traces this coastal community from its humble origins at the turn of the century to the 1980s, as it corresponds to real events in the history of this corner of Mexico. As years pass, the landscape changes and the community grows and develops. There’s corruption and violence, magic and hope. Characters fall in love and fall apart. Their voices are heard. Their songs are sung.
The existence of this project is designed to question the very nature of storytelling and its possibilities in the digital age. As such, it’s done as a CO0, for free public use.
