Deserted villages of rural Mexico, where images and memories of the past linger like unquiet ghosts, haunted the imaginations of two artists—writer Juan Rulfo and photographer Josephine Sacabo. In one such village of the mind, Comala, Rulfo set his classic novel Pedro Páramo, a dream-like tale that intertwines a man's quest to find his lost father and reclaim his patrimony with the father's obsessive love for a woman who will not be possessed—Susana San Juan. Recognizing that "Rulfo was describing a world I already knew" and feeling "a very personal response, particularly to Susana San Juan and her dilemma," Josephine Sacabo used Rulfo's novel as the starting point for a series of evocative photographs she calls "The Unreachable World of Susana San Juan: Homage to Juan Rulfo."
This volume brings together Rulfo's novel and Sacabo's photographs to offer a dual artistic vision of the same unforgettable story. Margaret Sayers Peden's superb translation renders the novel as poetic and mysterious in English as it is in Spanish. Josephine Sacabo's photographs tell, in her words, "the story of a woman forced to take refuge in madness as a means of protecting her inner world from the ravages of the forces around her: a cruel and tyrannical patriarchy, a church that offers no redemption, the senseless violence of revolution, death itself."

Un joven en busca de su padre perdido, un pueblo fantasma y un sin fin de personajes misteriosos y enigmaticos. Esta es la historia de Pedro Paramo, creada por el novelista y cuentista mexicano Juan Rulfo, quien nos presenta en esta intrigante novela ese sabor que caracteriza a los literatos latinos e hispanos: la pasion dramatica. Esta apasionante historia nos relata la busqueda de un muchacho por su padre, quien es el mismisimo Pedro Paramo. Y mas que una busqueda por un padre al cual nunca habia visto, Juan Preciado, el muchacho que se aventura a la penumbra de un destino fatal, es la busqueda prometida a la muerte de su madre, del regreso de aquello que le fue arrebatado, es decir, el cobro hacia su padre por haberles abandonado.    /    As one enters Juan Rulfo's legendary novel, one follows a dusty road to a town of death.Time shifts from one consciousness to another in a hypnotic flow of dreams, desires, and memories, a world of ghosts dominated by the figure of Pedro Paramo -lover, overlord, murderer. Rulfo's extraordinary mix of sensory images, violent passions and unfathomable mysteries has been a profound influence on a whole generation of Latin American writers.
