Description:

Una novela provocadora y divertida, perturbadora y enigmática, profunda y vital. Premio Mazatlán de Literatura 2005, Vida con mi viuda cuenta una historia de una muerte y todo lo que en torno a ésta puede desatarse.
 
Vida con mi viuda es un juego de espejos donde lo real se desdibuja con el soplo de lo intangible y lo inexistente cobra vida en el lecho mismo de la muerte.

Una historia de misterio tan provocadora y divertida como perturbadora y enigmática, donde el personaje principal, casado con una chamana indígena de Oaxaca, ve morir a un hombre idéntico a sí mismo. En el momento en el que se extingue el último aliento del extraño, el protagonista de esta trama profunda y vital decide intercambiar identidades. Desea saber qué harán su esposa y sus hijos cuando él esté muerto. Lo que no imagina es que también tendrá que adquirir los terribles compromisos del hombre cuya identidad adoptó.
 
Premio Mazatlán de Literatura 2005, Vida con mi viuda confirma a José Agustín como una de las voces más grandes, originales y profundas de la literatura mexicana contemporánea, un autor en posesión absoluta de su arte.
 
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
 
A provoking and amusing novel, both unsettling and enigmatic, profound and vivid. Mazatlán's Literary Prize 2005, Life with My Widow tells the story of a death and everything that comes to pass because of it.

Life with My Widow is a mirror game where reality vanishes with a breath of the intangible, and the inexistant comes to life at death's own door.

A story of mystery, as provoking and amusing as it is unsettling and enigmatic, where the main character, married to an indigenous shaman from Oaxaca, witnesses a man's death, a man that looks just like him. At the very moment that strange man draws his last breath, the protagonist of this profound, vivid plot decides to switch their identities. He wants to know what his wife and children will do once he is dead. What he doesn't realize is that he will also have to take on the terrible commitments of the man whose identity he took.
 
Life with My Widow, Mazatlán's Literary Prize 2005, confirms José Agustín as one of the greatest, deepest, most original voices in Mexican contemporary literature. An author in full possession of his art.
