A claim of justice for the losers of history with echoes of authors as different as Joseph Conrad, Alejo Carpentier, & David Mitchell.
The conquest of Mexico is over, & Juan de Toñanes is one of so many soldiers without glory who roam like beggars for the land they helped subdue. When he receives one last mission, to hunt down a renegade Indian who's called the Father & who preaches a dangerous heresy, he understands that this may be his last chance to carve himself the future he's always dreamed of. But as he goes deep into the unexplored lands of the north following the Father's trace, he will discover the footprints of a man who seems not only a man, but a prophet destined to transform his time & even the times to come.
Not Even the Dead is the story of a persecution that transcends territories & centuries; a path pointing northward, always northward, that is to say, always toward the future, on a hallucinated journey from the sixteenth century New Spain to today's Trump wall. Old conquerors on horseback & migrants riding the roofs of the Beast, rebellious Indians & peasants waiting patiently for a better world, Mexican revolutionaries who take their rifles & women murdered in the desert of Ciudad Juárez, all pass by it. All of them share the same landscape & the same hope, the arrival of the Father who will bring justice to the oppressed.
