[Spanish] - Mi hermanita Magdalena
"La joven Magdalena sólo quiere escapar de la estricta vida que lleva en casa de sus padres, pero no imagina las repercusiones que tendrá su inocente decisión. Magdalena desaparece un domingo lluvioso en ausencia de sus padres. Tras casarse “en broma” durante una ceremonia secreta con Enrique, este la extrae en contra de su voluntad de su casa paterna. Guiadas por Crimen y castigo de Dostoievski, sus lecturas de Sherlock Holmes y su cultura hollywoodesca, Rosa y Estefanía buscarán a su hermanita en los barrios bajos de la ciudad de México y luego en Europa, donde finalmente se reunirán. Una vez juntas, envueltas en intrigas terroristas y amorosas, y luego de atestiguar momentos claves de la historia mundial, tratarán de deshacer la maldición que cayó sobre su familia a raíz del desdichado matrimonio. En palabras de la crítica «Leer a Elena Garro es tanto como recuperar su memoria. Para ella no había separación. La vida era un juego literario y la literatura era nostalgia de lo que se ha vivido, una forma de escapar del olvido.» -José Carlos Castañeda"
Elena Garro (Author), Yopa Ponce (Narrator)

[Spanish] - Mírame, Palmira 'Look at Me, Palmira'
"¡Ay, guerrera! Guardas en tu maleta de los años todo lo que debería quedarse en las siguientes generaciones y en quienes no te quitan ojo. Suena en tu cabeza el eco de tu historia, toda una vida que te enseñó a guardar secretos para dar la mejor versión de ti misma y, sin embargo, en tu residencia, rodeada de mayores —como tú— eres silencio para los demás. Y, cansada de respirar, por fin te has enterado de que estar viva no es realmente vivir si tienes que hacerlo huyendo de ti. Es invierno, solo queda un año y cantas a pleno pulmón a través de tu mirada octogenaria aquello que solo se aprende noche a noche, día a día: la vida. Eres aliciente, eso que hace falta conocer para poder entender cómo se habita en uno mismo, cómo hay que afrontar la dicha y la desdicha; eres experiencia que te hace sabia a nuestros sentidos. ¡Ay, guerrera! Mírame a los ojos y enséñame cómo existir en cada minuto hasta el final de los días."
Cruz Galdón Herrera (Author), Nuria López (Narrator)
