Carlos Mario Mejía Suárez (Modern Languages, Literatures, and Cultures) published his novella “Antonieta de muchos nombres” [“Antonieta of Many Names”] on March 28, 2024 (Ediciones Alborismos).
The novel is an imagining of Antonieta Rivas Mercado’s biography. Rivas Mercado was a Mexican writer and art promoter at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. She found herself at the heart of controversies surrounding her groups of friends, her avant-garde theatre. She also drew attention due to her marriage and divorce and was actively involved in José Vasconcelos’s presidential campaign in the 1920s. She ultimately fled Mexico fearing political repression.
The novel is available on Amazon, Kindle, and autoreseditores.com.
