Salamanca 21: English Version

By Estuardo D'Tita

At number 21 Salamanca Street, in Mexico City's Colonia Roma, seven doors guard seven stories their owners would rather keep hidden.

An ensemble novel inspired by the seven deadly sins and the seven virtues that, supposedly, counteract them:

Gluttony and Temperance
Pride and Humility
Lust and Chastity
Greed and Charity
Wrath and Patience
Envy and Gratitude
Sloth and Diligence

Seven narrow labels-reminders that the human heart is always vaster and more elusive than the morality that tries to contain it.

With a gaze that can be tender and merciless in the same sentence, Salamanca 21 portrays a contemporary Mexico City-its influencers and its psychoanalysts, its gentrification and its neighborhood watch committees-and that particular species of tenant who spies, judges, and, without knowing it, shares the same uncertainty.

And just when you think you know how each of them ends, an epilogue dares to ask who truly decides how stories close: the author, the character... or the reader now holding the book?

"Salamanca 21 is The Human Comedy in a world of 280 characters."
