Die Eisenbahnen Mexikos

The railway setting feels so integral to the narrative and themes. I'm curious whether this was driven by personal history or a symbolic choice by the author.

The satire hits so many cultural and political nerves — was this intentional to provoke reflection or just a natural part of the storytelling?

It creates a layered experience but also raises questions about the line between fact and fiction. I wonder what led to this storytelling approach.
