Dear diary, I want to be a comedian. But not just any comedian, I want to be the first Mexican comedian to be on The Johnny Carson Show. My Tío Javier always says I’m so funny. This one time I told him a joke. I said “What do we call the Beatles drummer in Mexico? Gringo Starr!” He laughed so hard he spit tamarind Jarritos out of his nose. He said I should go to one of the hotels and see if they’ll let me go on stage and tell jokes. But I don’t know. I don’t feel welcome in those places. They are for the people from somewhere else that fly on planes and wear fancy suits. I’m just a little girl from Santa María. And why did my parents name me Enriqueta?

Santa Maria de las Rocas collection image

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.
