Yuri Herrera stands out with his first book, Works of the Kingdom, in which, through the eyes of a composer, he unfolds before the reader a panorama of the palace life of a drug trafficking cartel. Lobo, protagonist and narrator of the novel, is a marginalized being since his birth. He has no education, but he has the talent to turn notable events into epic songs, that is why he is the Artist. One afternoon he meets the man who will transform his life... Thus, reconstructing the inner world of the cartel with a popular language not devoid of lyricism, a sign of his excellent ear, and with a tone that sometimes takes on the registers of a fable. Children and others of Renaissance tragedy, the Artist's words take us into a castle where happiness seems to reign, but hidden intrigues spread. (Eduardo Antonio Parra, Letras Libres)
