???Un resonante experimento literario??? -XOCHITL GONZALEZ, AUTORA DE OLGA MUERE SO???ANDO Inspirado en el cl???sico de Mary Shelley y combinando elementos de ciencia ficci???n, horror, s???tira pol???tica y romance, Frankenstein Chicano confronta los prejuicios de una sociedad en crisis y cuestiona el verdadero significado de ser humano. Los ???reanimados??? est???n casi completamente integrados en nuestra sociedad, aunque contin???an empleados en los trabajos que nadie m???s quiere hacer. Devueltos a la vida a trav???s de un controvertido proceso en el que se emplean partes de distintos cad???veres, viven en el l???mite de un mundo que los rechaza casi tanto como los necesita. Y es que, en Estados Unidos, la primera mujer que ha ganado la presidencia tras una campa???a electoral anti-reanimaci???n, insiste en que los ???zurcidos??? son criminales que han llegado para robar los trabajos de sus ciudadanos. En Los ???ngeles, un asistente legal lleva una vida mon???tona despu???s de que el proceso de reanimaci???n borrara su memoria. Pero todo cambia cuando se enamora de la abogada Faustina God???nez. Al adentrarse en su mundo --lleno de amigos, risas, chilaquiles y pan dulce-- el hombre comienza a indagar sobre sus or???genes y a conocer detalles de su propia vida anterior. Pero la incertidumbre a la que se enfrenta no ser??? el ???nico obst???culo que tendr??? que superar: los simpatizantes de la causa anti- reanimaci???n siguen sus pasos cada vez m???s de cerca... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A modern retelling of the Mary Shelley classic that addresses issues of belonging and assimilation. An unnamed paralegal, brought back to life through a controversial process, maneuvers through a near-future world that both needs and resents him. As the United States president spouts anti-reanimation rhetoric and giant pharmaceutical companies rake in profits, the man falls in love with lawyer Faustina God???nez. His world expands as he meets her network of family and friends, setting him on a course to discover his first-life history, which the reanimation process erased. With elements of science fiction, horror, political satire and romance, Chicano Frankenstein confronts our nation's bigotries and the question of what it truly means to be human.
