by Héctor Enríquez (Author)
En "Crónicas de un taxista fronterizo", Héctor M. Enríquez recuerda y relata con gracia y lujo de detalles sus experiencias en este oficio tan importante pero que pocas veces recibe la atención que merece. Gracias a la prodigiosa memoria del autor, presenciamos escenas de todo el panorama social de Ciudad Juárez y El Paso a finales del siglo XX y principios del XXI, protagonizadas por personajes pintorescos e inolvidables, tanto taxistas como pasajeros. Aquí hay de todo: por una parte las movidas chuecas, las mordidas, la fayuca, la prostitución y manifestaciones de violencia; pero por otra parte, y en igual medida, las buenas acciones, el calor humano, el compañerismo, la rectitud, la amistad. Y de paso, una buena dosis de historia y color local. El autor, quien se ha desempeñado también en otros trabajos-piloto de avión, negociante, vendedor de autos, profesor universitario-dota su narración de fascinantes anécdotas, agudas observaciones sicológicas y abundantes expresiones típicas del caló callejero. En conjunto, este extraordinario libro viene siendo no sólo una lectura amena, sino también el vehículo para que estos admirables servidores públicos-los taxistas-no queden, en las palabras del propio Sr. Enríquez, "en el anonimato después de cada viaje".
