He was arrested during the October 2nd, 1968 massacre at Tlatelolco and held as a political prisoner at the infamous Lecumberri prison for almost three years, where he authored this collection of stories, fragments, letters, and political reflections.
A scarce example of Mexican prison writing, from a key political leader of the student movement, written during his time in Mexico’s most infamous prison.
