El Enigma de Los Seis Lunares [Spanish]

By: Agras?nchez, Rogelio, Jr.

Memories have a lot in common with Chinese whispers as time, later interpretations and imagination gradually transform and embellish them. Besides, sometimes one fancies how life could have been if spiced with more daring, sprinkled with mysterious happenings, and enlightened by a rapturous calf love. That happens in El enigma de los seis lunares, Rogelio Agras?nchez Jr.'s first novel, in which remembrances from his past are intertwined with fancied events and characters.El enigma de los seis lunares is the story of Quint?n, a na?ve boy transformed into an adventurous teen thanks to the influence of a blinding first love in the early seventies. Quint?n experiences cinema not only as an spectator but as the son of a film distributor and producer, which leads him to memorable encounters and humorous exploits. Quint?n recalls his father's films shootings in a witty and nostalgic manner; he evokes those years full of mad scientists, Mexican mummies, masked wrestlers, bikini-clad beauties and real-life boycott attempts by some envious people. Quint?n also recounts his old days as a movie exhibitor on weekends and holidays in Mexico City's outskirts.Though El enigma de los seis lunares is the story of a growing-up boy, it is not a book addressed to children or teens. Its style is straightforward, unpretentious, and appealing. In his first novel, Rogelio Agras?nchez succeeded in abandoning the well-known historical rigor of his non-fiction books and in giving his imagination a free ride.
