Mapa de otros mundos
Rodrigo Fuentes

NOVEL | 2022 | 312 pages

From the first page, a frantic journey will move readers between present-day Guatemala and the country in the ‘70s, two time periods that are united by hope, violence, and the moving story of one family.

Mapa de otros mundos is an invitation to ask ourselves, what kind of justice do we want in Guatemala? And what are we willing to do to achieve that? Rodrigo Fuentes brings us up close to our heroes so that we can see their faults and humanity. When readers emerge at the end of this book, they will no longer be the same.

“Reading Mapa de otros mundos by Rodrigo Fuentes was a pleasant, moving, and immersive experience because of the book’s novelistic structure and the skilled handling of a story that borders on auto-fiction (...) A great book, entertaining and revealing, that signals the arrival of a great national author.”
— Méndez Vides, El Periódico
“From his first collection of linked stories, Trucha panza arriba (Sophos, 2016), Rodrigo Fuentes made it clear that his literary proposition is a commitment to the quality of the story. With Mapa de otros mundos (Sophos, 2022), he elevates this proposition, reaffirming readers’ confidence that they are facing an original voice that is quickly consolidating itself as one of the best in its generation, one that still has a long road ahead.”
