Description
The story of Marina and her alter ego, Xian, starts with a car crash. While Marina's life is dedicated to taking care of her husband and their home, Xian is enigmatic and free, the embodiment of resistance and of Marina's deepest desires. The border between their realities is Green Shanghai, a café where the two coexist and can be revealed. Through news, letters and stories, Marina searches for the many facets of ego and identity that lead her to the secret of her other personality. In these pages, the reader will recognize traces of another book by Cristina Rivera Garza, La guerra no importa, which forms the backdrop for Green Shanghai. The result is a kaleidoscope of meanings and the act of reading that reveals them.
