By James Dayton Gunn, This interesting and talented writer, born in 1966 in Mérida, has published several collections of short stories in Spanish. I will comment here on two of them: “Los Mártires del Freeway y Otras Historias” (Ficticia, México, 2008) and “Caída Libre” (Ficticia, México, 2010). First, however, a warning may be in order. Martín Briceño’s themes are for adults. These are not stories for children or for the squeamish. Dramatic and Disturbing The problem for contemporary Yucatecan writers is that dramatic sources are scarce. Life here today in Mérida and in the state of Yucatan is tranquil, and people are honest, normal and nice. It’s quite different in Mexico City, or Ciudad Juarez, or the states of Sinaloa
