Quotes by Rubén Gallo (?)

“En Nueva grandeza mexicana (1946), uno de los ensayos más ingeniosos sobre la ciudad de México, Salvador Novo considera que toda ciudad moderna debe elegir uno de dos destinos posibles: o extinguirse y mantener intacta su arquitectura (como la ciudad maya de Chichen Itzá); o pertenecer viva, transformándose y renovándose constantemente. Las ciudades y sus habitantes, escribe Novo, “se enfrentan por inescapable determinismo a un incómodo dilema: o la cripta honorable o la vida imprevisible: o la momia o el hombre: o el museo o la urbe”. Hasta ahora la ciudad de México ha logrado mantenerse viva y evitar el destino de tantos otros centros urbanos menos afortunados, que se han convertido en museos al aire libre o en meras atracciones turísticas sin vida propia. “A diferencia de Teotihuacán” escribe Novo, “ha sido el destino de México sobrevivir a costa de transformarse”

“Hay un texto sobre cómo el bosque de Chapultepec es invadido por miles de sirvientas todos los domingos; un recorrido por la avenida Insurgentes, la calle más larga del mundo; un homenaje al monumento que alberga la mano cortada de un ex-presidente; y el recuento de una noche pasada en un bar de mal muerte adonde los soldados llegan con su novia y se van con un novio.”
― Rubén Gallo, The Mexico City Reader
