Cambio de tiempo

Abstract

"Cambio de Tiempo" is the name of a song by Astrud that I recommend listening to. Under this title I have gathered six urban chronicles -more inclined to literature than journalism- related to Mexico City and its quality of palimpsest: the anniversary of the city, the infraordinary from my window, the nomenclature and commercial vocation of some streets, a forgotten legend, the social pulse of the covid-19 pandemic in 2021, and the earthquake of 2017. Almost all set in the Historic Center, which is where I live, and written between 2014 and the current year. Some of these fragments are part of my next book.
