There was an element of traveler, especially those from the north, the ones from beyond the Rio Grande, who thought of Santa María more as the Tijuana of the Gulf. To them, the sainted beach town was thought of as debaucherous. There was gambling and prostitutes. Jazz clubs and opium dens. A place built by criminals, by the corrupt. Where hired guns could be overheard chatting drunkenly with smugglers at the bar. Where fortunes were gained, and fortunes were lost. Where the discos never closed, and the Champagne flowed like a river. The hotels didn’t necessarily choose between which type of traveler they were for, so they tried to cater to them all, leading to some awkward situations on the walk to the breakfast table.
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.
