« Quién soy yo, un bato privilegiado, para fabular la historia de una muchacha de familia pobre que fue raptada y violada?
Chapotán es un pueblo duranguense del Triángulo Dorado, en la Sierra Madre Occidental. Un día de los años ochenta, la familia Carrasco Heras recibe como empleada doméstica a una muchacha de nombre Tomasa. Diligente, tímida y muy hermosa, trae consigo un secreto que le causa dolor y miedo. No pasa mucho tiempo sin que la vida de todos llegue a verse trastocada, sobre todo a partir de que dos hermanos, narcotraficantes de un pueblo vecino protegidos por el ejército, irrumpen con crueldad en la vida de la familia y de Tomasa. Desde la mirada inquieta y sensible de Flavio, el hijo menor, Adiós, Tomasa desmenuza los conflictos de un México rural prácticamente desconocido, el de esos pueblos serranos adonde la ley nunca llega. Sus habitantes deben entonces enfrentarse a una existencia definida por el crimen, el odio y el sufrimiento tanto como por la ternura, la piedad y la esperanza. Con un aliento fabulador inagotable y poderoso, esta novela rescata una historia sobre las varias violencias que sufren las mujeres y los niños en el contexto del avance del narcotráfico en el México del último tercio del siglo xx, una realidad que por lo demás sigue vigente. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Who am I, a privileged idiot, to make up the story of a girl from a poor family who was kidnapped and raped?" Chapotán is a town in the Mexican state of Durango, in the Sierra Madre mountains. One day in the '80s, the Carrasco Heras family hires a maid named Tomasa. Diligent, timid, and beautiful, she brings with her a painful, frightening secret. Before long, everyone's lives become disrupted, above all after two brothers, drug dealers from a neighboring town who are protected by the army, burst cruelly into the lives of the family and Tomasa. From the troubled, sensitive perspective of Flavio, the youngest son, Goodbye, Tomasa scrutinizes the conflicts of a practically unknown rural Mexico, those mountain towns where the law never arrived. Its inhabitants must face an existence defined by crime, hatred, and suffering, as well as by tenderness, piety, and hope. With tireless, powerful storytelling, this novel captures a story of the various forms of violence that women and children face in the face of the increasing drug war in Mexico during the last part of the 20th century, a reality that still prevails today.Geney Beltrán (Tamazula, Durango, 1976) es autor de las novelas Cualquier cadáver (2014) y Cartas ajenas (2011), el volumen de relatos Habla de lo que sabes (2009), los libros de ensayos Asombro y desaliento (2017), El sueño no es un refugio sino un arma (2009), El biógrafo de su lector (2003) y el tomo de aforismos El espíritu débil (2017).
