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."

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. Josephine Sacabo (photographer) (illustratore). First edition thus. Rulfo's timeless novel has a first line that every Mexican student of literature must know by heart: "I came to Comala because I had been told that my father, a man named Pedro Páramo, lived there". First published in Mexico in 1955, and first translated into English by Lysander Kemp in 1959, this edition uses the translation by Margaret Sayers Peden (Grove Press, 1994). The novel was recently (2024) made into a Netflix film, directed by Rodrigo Prieto. This beautiful edition from the University of Texas Press is in their Wittliff Gallery Series, highlighting Southwestern and Mexican photography under the editorship of Bill Wittliff. It's a large format hardcover in which the novel is accompanied by 50 art photographs that pay homage to the story and its setting. Attractively bound in blood red Saifu cloth, the book had a print run of 3,200 copies. There seems to be a remainder mark to the top edges close to the spine, and there is barely a hint of yellowing to edges of textblock, otherwise a fine copy in a near fine dust jacket that has some fading to the front panel.
