EL HOTEL DE LOS CORAZONES ROTOS
El hotel de los corazones rotos is a delirious and moving coming-of-age story that explores the darkest corners of oneselfplaces that often reveal more about who we are than the façade of normalcy we present to the outside world.
Mexico City, early 1999. At twenty-one, Bruno Bolado has yet to finish high school and spends his days in an alcohol-soaked nothingness, daydreaming about writing a radio soap opera titled The Hotel of Broken Hearts. Until one day he stumbles upon what appears to be an Elvis Presley mascot dangling from a city bus and decides to follow it, unaware of the dark underworld he is about to discover. Guided by a man called El Agallas, Bruno becomes entangled in a web of delirium, paranoia, and revengea maze from which he will neither know how he entered nor where the exit lies.
Soon after, his world is turned upside down once more when he falls in love with Milena, an enigmatic English Literature student at UNAM who is writing her thesis on Sylvia Plath. When a student strike erupts, their parallel lives drift further apart: while Milena fights for public, free education, Bruno cannot bring himself to reveal his secret identity, nor his work helping friends aboard a fake ambulance that roams the city searching for the injured to take to the hospital.
Eduardo Rabasa (Mexico City, 1978) studied Political Science at the UNAM, where he graduated with a thesis on the concept of power in the work of George Orwell. In 2002 he was one of the founding members of Editorial Sexto Piso, where he has worked as an editor ever since. For the last ten years he has written a weekly column for the newspaper Milenio and has translated books by authors such as George Orwell, Somerset Maugham, and Jarvis Cocker.
He is the author of the novels La suma de los ceros (Pepitas de calabaza, 2015), translated into English and French, Cinta negra (Pepitas de calabaza, 2017), translated into Italian and German, and the book of short stories El destino es un conejo que te da órdenes (Pepitas de calabaza, 2019). He has been selected as part of the anthologies México20 and Bogotá39 and has published reviews, chronicles and essays in publications such as Vice, Nexos, Revista de la Universidad, La Tempestad and several others. He is the composer and vocalist of the Mexican electrorock band, el gran otro.
His latest novel is El hotel de los corazones rotos (Galaxia Gutenberg, 2025), a delirious coming-of-age that explores the darkest corners of oneself.
