Las herencias ocultas es la nueva pieza en su museo imaginario. Es un libro de 384 paginas, tres ensayos y siete cronicas historicas sobre siete liberales mexicanos del siglo XIX. Su forma es fragmentaria; su estilo, el ya conocido. Mentiriamos si dijeramos que la obra despunta por un desusado rigor: no teoriza ni ofrece una sabia lectura del liberalismo ni es producto de una morosa investigacion historica. Antes que demorarse en una epoca y una ideologia, el libro esculpe las figuritas de siete proceres mexicanos. Ese, su proposito: engordar el acervo del museo con la adquisicion de un punado de munequitos heroicos. No son figuras realistas sino ejemplares, desprovistas de defectos y banadas en bronce. No descansan en un rincon sino justo en el centro del museo, como homericos padres de toda la cultura mexicana no catolica. Hidden Inheritance is a new piece in an imaginary museum. As an object, it comprises 384 pages, three essays and seven historical chronicles about seven Mexican liberals of the 19th century. It is fragmented in shape, its style already known. We would be lying if we said this is a rigorous work: it does not theorize or offer any wise readings on liberalism, neither is it the product of thorough historical research. Instead of fussing over an age and an ideology, this book sculpts the tiny figures of seven Mexican notables. That is its purpose: to increase the museum's archive with a handful of bronzed heroic figurines, not realistic but exemplary, and lacking any defects. They are not meant to lie in a corner but be placed at the center of the museum, like the Homeric heroes of all non-Catholic Mexican culture.
