After his first wife left him, Horacio tried to get sober. He realized how out of control he had been. He let fame and money get to his head. Esmeralda put up with it for years. She loved him dearly, but enough was enough. He had become arrogant and belligerent. He was fired from hotel to hotel and it was only when he was asked to clean up or stay away from the last place that would take him, El Encanto Suites, was he forced to change. At an obligatory AA meeting, he met Josefina Morales, a counselor and devoted Christian. He fell in love with her almost immediately, though she resisted his advances for months. He followed every piece of advice she gave him, attended church every Sunday and eventually she gave in. Within a year they were married.
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.
