THE DEATH OF IRENE MÁRQUEZ, IRENE MÁRQUEZ

Any cheap life coach will tell you this, and the public health psychologist practically has it tattooed on her forehead so she doesn't have to bother repeating it: "Taking life so seriously isn't doing you any favors." Yeah, right. And if taking life too seriously is pointless, I don't even need to tell you about death!
Taking death seriously! Ha! They're not going to catch Irene Márquez in that nonsense, no way.
In this comic, Irene brings together different stories of varying lengths about death. From three-panel strips to 35-page stories, and in between: those condemned to death, suicides, duels, fatal accidents, crimes, widows and orphans, her death—hers and yours—… In this comic, we all appear.
Each story has its own tone and focus; there's dark humor and tenderness, cruelty and compassion, the mundane and the supernatural. As the back cover text says—more or less—its pages will take the reader from incredulous laughter to romantic unease, passing through profound sorrow and other complex emotions in the face of the certainty that we will all die.
