description Los recuerdos del porvenir (1963), Elena Garro's first novel, recreates the passage of the Mexican Revolution and its consequences in the archetypal scene of a small imagined town in the province (Ixtepec), where the Revolution appears as an event more suffered or received than acted or starred. The last stage of Ixtepec's ruin during the Post-Revolution is represented by the Cristero War, which occupies the entire second part of the novel. This essay will aim to analyze the meanings of the recreation of this civil war resulting from the confrontation between the Church and the State in Elena Garro's narrative, in order to rethink the way in which her work re-elaborates the literary tradition defined by the Novel of the Mexican Revolution. We conceive the latter as a critical category and as a founding corpus of a national literary canon in Mexico. This specific angle of study allows us to clarify and broaden the understanding of key aspects through which the writing of this author criticizes, appropriates and reestablishes the literary and cultural forms of a triumphant Revolution that, in Mexico’s 20th century, works as the axis around which all the other senses are arranged and defined. We will consider the Cristero War in Garro's work under three perspectives: historical-political, gender and philosophical.
