In '8.8, el miedo en el espejo' (8.8, Fear in the Mirror), Juan Villoro narrates the experience of the earthquake that shook Chile on February 27, 2010. Through a personal and reflective chronicle, the author explores human reactions to the imminence of death, the fragility of life, and the impact of natural disasters in a globalized world. Villoro combines irony, humor, and melancholy to offer an incisive and moving vision of an event that marked Chile's recent history.
Juan Antonio Villoro Ruiz is a Mexican writer and journalist and the son of philosopher Luis Villoro.
