«El Ángel de nuestras nostalgias» is the novel by Guadalupe Loaeza and Carlos Martínez Assad, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (149 pages, in Spanish).
The work revolves around the Angel of Independence, the emblematic monument of Mexico City, and the nostalgic weight it carries in the collective memory. Between historical evocation and fiction, it reviews figures and events that have turned that symbol into part of Mexican identity.
It was published in 1998 and includes illustrations; records classify it as history and fiction centred on Mexico City.
For readers interested in Mexican history, urban memory, and fictions around patriotic symbols.
María Guadalupe Loaeza Tovar is a contemporary Mexican writer, author of many books including Las Niñas Bien, Las Reinas de Polanco, Debo, Luego Sufro and Compro, Luego Existo, in which she ironizes about the Mexican upper class. A participant in Elena Poniatowska's writing workshops in the mid-1980s, she has transformed her success as a chronicler, observer, and critic of the Mexican bourgeoisie and the post-1985 democratization of Mexico into a successful career. Known for her trademark pearl necklace and for her francophile tendencies, she has become an influential cultural figure. Some of her books are compilations of her articles published in newspapers such as Unomásuno and La Jornada. She was born in Mexico City. She had two children from her first marriage. In 2003, Guadalupe Loaeza received the distinction of Chevalier from the Légion d'Honneur of France.
