Author Talk and Discussion: Sara Uribe, author of Antígona González, a poetic novel infused with the story of Antigone (as best known from Sophocles’ ancient Greek tragedy) and set in modern-day Mexico.
November 4, 2024 at 4pm in the Honors Commons.
“As
the
families
of
so
many
disappeared
throughout
Mexico,
Sara
Uribe’s
ANTÍGONA
GONZÁLEZ
roams
a
convulsed
land
looking
for
the
body
of
Tadeo,
her
brother.
As
urgent
as
it
is
delicate,
ANTÍGONA
GONZÁLEZ
summons
the
dead
and
brings
them
to
our
tables,
for
the
day
we
cease
sharing
memory
and
language
with
them,
we
ourselves
will
become
loss,
vanished
sign,
oblivion.”
