This interview centers on the latest two books by Christopher Domínguez Michael, both published in The first, Ensayos reunidos , was published in Mexico by the Colegio Nacional, and the second, Ateos, snobs y otras ruinas, was published in Chile by Ediciones Universidad Diego Portales. We discussed these books, but also the sinuous and intricate relationships between politics, literature, and history. It is impossible to summarize in a few digital pages everything that Domínguez Michael says in these two books. However, in this interview, we look at some matters that I found compelling for readers.

Although I interviewed  Domínguez Michael as a literary critic, his work, extensive and complex, far exceeds that field. I am not the first to highlight the quality of his prose and critical thinking. But in a world where the essay, as a literary form, seems so displaced by academic and journalistic writing, and other forms of criticism, the literary pages written by Domínguez Michael are unique, original, and intelligent, engaging us in controversial and passionate readings.
