Pedro Páramo

Book • 1955
The novel tells the story of Comala, a small town in rural Mexico, through multiple narrative fragments.

It follows Juan Preciado as he searches for his father, Pedro Páramo, only to find the town abandoned and filled with ghosts.

The story also delves into Pedro Páramo's past, depicting his rise to power and his tragic love for Susana San Juan.

The narrative blends Mexican folklore with experimental techniques such as stream of consciousness and flashbacks, creating a mythic and phantasmagoric tale that critiques human frailty and the collapse of societal structures.
