Itzel II

In Itzel II, we continue to follow Nauta, Itzel, and Basta through the cascading outcomes of their desire for agency and for change in their world. We move from the Oaxaca coast back to Mexico City, from Nauta’s Brooklyn streets to her time in Canada, from the attraction between Basta and Itzel that has altered the characters’ friendship to the rumours and reckonings that result. The 1971 Halconazo is brought alive by the author’s intimate knowledge of an event that was in part organized from her phone. Nauta sees herself once more wielding the knife she has carried since puberty, as she is brought face to face not just with the violence of others but with her own.

In Itzel II, continuam sa-i urmarim pe Nauta, Itzel si Basta prin rezultatele in cascada ale dorintei lor de agentie si de schimbare in lumea lor. Ne mutam de pe coasta Oaxaca inapoi la Mexico City, de pe strazile Nautei din Brooklyn pana la perioada ei in Canada, de la atractia dintre Basta si Itzel care a modificat prietenia personajelor la zvonurile si socotelile care rezulta.
