dc.description.extractI first learned about Silvia Moreno-García’s work thanks to Canada Reads, the enormous famed reading club sponsored by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (cbc) that was launched at the beginning of this century. Once a year, five books are chosen and —during a week of public discussions— they are championed by five well-known figures in Anglo-Canadian public life that are neither academics nor professional literary critics. The theme for the 2023 competition was “One Book to Shift Your Perspective,” for which Mexican Gothic, by Silvia Moreno-García, was chosen as a finalist. In the discussion of the virtual community of the Canada Reads Facebook wall, it caught my attention that the first question that jumped out in the conversations of the readers was: “What is Canadian about this book?” Many claimed that the genre (romance, horror) was not to their taste (starting with a disdain for popular literature). However, there were also readings that questioned these prejudices, discovering a subtext of criticism of foreign colonization and extractivism that has characterized mining companies (most likely, without knowing that this is one of the nodal themes in Canadian studies research in Mexico today) (p. 77).
