Tenía tal necesidad la familia, que todas las mañanas se veía obligado el buen Florencio a ir hasta el matadero para comprar a muy bajo precio las tripas de las reses allí sacrificadas. A la postre, y dada la destreza culinaria de Amaranta, las tripas se convertían en un alimento de grato sabor.Tenían una vecina, llamada Mariquita, que un día se dirigió a la choza de Florencio y Amaranta para pedirles un poco de sal. Al ver a Amaranta guisando aquellas repugnantes tripas, le dijo:-Las compra Florencio en el matadero que hay cerca del cemen-terio, ¿verdad?-Así es -respondió Amaranta.Entonces Mariquita les contó que aquellas tripas no eran de animales, sino de fantasmas.-¡Qué cosas dices! -exclamó el buen Florencio echándose a reír.-Es verdad -insistió Mariquita. El cura es el que hace eso; es un brujo.Poco después murió Mariquita.Una mañana en la que Florencio iba al matadero, vio venir hacia él una manada de toros. Cuando llegaron a su altura, oyó algo en extremo curioso: un toro le preguntaba a otro, en el idioma de los cristiapos, si era la primera vez que iba al matadero. El toro preguntado respondió que no; que era la tercera vez que lo mataban.Al poco rato vio pasar a una hermosa vaca, de cuyos ojos brotaban abundantes lágrimas que resbalaban por su hocico, y que lanzaba suspiros de mujer atribulada.Florencio se dirigió a ella y le preguntó qué le sucedía. La vaca contestó que lloraba porque estaba muerta.-¿No me conoces? -dijo. Soy Mariquita. He muerto por contaros que el cura convierte a la gente en 'reses.Entonces contó a Florencio cómo el cura, todas las noches, iba al camposanto y mediante un extraño poder que tenía convertía a los muertos en ganado, los llevaba al matadero y se enriquecía así vendiendo su carne.En cuanto llegó a su choza, Florencio contó a su Amaranta la conversación que tuviese con la vaca. Amaranta creyó todo aquello; mas como Florencio no terminara de creérselo, decidió ir a preguntárselo en persona al cura. A pesar de la oposición de ella, no cejó en su empeño.Al día siguiente, muy temprano, se encaminó a la iglesia en busca del cura. Amaranta le siguió hasta la puerta.El cura le recibió muy bien y le preguntó por el motivo de su visita.-¿Es verdad que usted convierte a los muertos en reses? -le preguntó el buen Florencio.El cura aseguró que aquello era una patraña. Luego trató de sonsacar a Florencio quién le había dicho semejante cosa. Al enterarse de que había sido la difunta Mariquita, frunció el ceño.Luego preguntó a Florencio si había comentado con alguien aquella falsa historia.-Sólo con mi Amaranta -dijo el buen hombre.Aquello supuso el fin del infeliz Florencio. Amaranta esperó mucho rato a la puerta de la iglesia, sin que su marido apareciese. Al cabo de un tiempo, vio a un precioso toro negro con manchas blancas en el rabo y en el pecho que salía de la iglesia y que se alejaba. Cansada de esperar, volvió a su casa. Florencio no regresó. Todos creyeron que había muerto y la gente empezó a llamar a su esposa la viuda Amaranta.Ella se tuvo que poner a trabajar para sacar adelante a sus hijos. Por ayudar a la recolección a sus vecinos, recibía algún dinero y con eso vivía.Una mañana, en la que se hallaba segando en el campo, se le acercó un hombre muy hermoso. Amaranta sintió gran extrañeza por aquella súbita presenpia de hombre tan bello.-Dedícate a tejer cintas -dijo el extraño, y también cinturones y fajas, que ya verá

For our "Two Shot" episode featuring New York City movies, Emilio, Julian and Madeline welcome on Mariquita Reese, fellow cinephile and cohost of Post Film Clarity, to talk two recent NYC based films about late night desperation that sends characters racing around the boroughs - the Safdie Brothers' 'Good Time' from 2017 and Sean Baker's 'Anora' from 2024, the current Best Picture winner.  The group discusses the depths of Connie's ineptitude and audacity, the ugly truths that the Safdies wanted to keep in the film, the shifting nature of power in both these films, compelling casting choices, why these bummer endings are actually pretty good, Mikey Madison's mastery of insulting with a Brooklyn accent, the going rate these days for a farm in Virginia, how DVD commentaries can redeem a bad movie, why Dick York is the superior Darrin, and much, much more!     Follow Mariquita on IG, Tik Tok and Letterboxd at keeta_babe - and check out Post Film Clarity, her podcast with cohost Lindsey Strickland, at postfilmclaritypodIf you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.  This really helps us find new listeners and grow!Follow us on IG and TikTok: @sleeplesscinematicpodSend us an email at sleeplesscinematicpod@gmail.comOn Letterboxd?

Mariquita talks with Eleanor Brown about what we miss when we discuss adoption, the importance of vulnerability and community, and her new book, Any Other Family. 

There's a special magic in feeling seen in a book – feeling like it was written just for you, to help validate your identity and experience.
