First you have to understand that almost everything that is produced in the country has to be costumbrista/costumbrism. The revolution, the poor people are amazing while the whites/riches are assholes, our traditions, the indigenous people, the migrants, the druglords. So I want to break up with all that and start the movimiento experiencialista.

It's going to be based in the assumption that experience it's by itself desirable, and strong enough to be present even if people lie or doesn't want it. Let's say: going to the beach, drink wine, give a kiss. You may assign objectives to all that but the experience is always there, the desire to taste the wine, feel the sun,etc. Also, it doesn`t ask for permission. If the sun is fucking you up you can lie but it's still happening. I can throw you a bucket of water and you are going to feel it.

So, against the tendencies of the modern world el movimiento experiencialista proposes to put style over plot, a slow detailed experience against an easy to read fast flowing one.

It proposes an experience that doesn't end once you know the plot, but one that can be lived over and over again. So the emphasis is in the prose, its rhythm, form and resources.

For the writers is an opportunity to put everything, even sense, in the service of an experience that is better as original as it gets. The final goal is to produce writings that are free form, unique and a mistery that can't be solved.

This doesn't seem like an idea that should be missing from any countries writing culture in the first place especially by now.
Do you feel there is a void in mexican writing and this "style" is really so incredibly lacking?
The idea that all your writing is based around this

seems strange to me and hard to believe.
But I am certain there are many great authors around the world who write with the idea that you have in mind that "the journey is more important than the destination" that you could point to as goals in writing to strive for and to mimic in mexican writing.

Is there a writer who you could give as an example? Somebody you wish were a prevalant mexican writer who's work had influence on the people or .... idk something.

I hope I didn't completely misinterpret what you said in the first place...

Yes. most writing is: subject, verb, complement and the again. Even if it is incredible to believe most contests and editorial houses enforce this "Your writing has to have a distinct mexican flavor"

"the journey is more important than the destination"

yes but I want to get it to the extreme. Somewhat like the french's surrealists. But when they wanted to get the inconscious mind, the creativity untied by not caring about the form, just pure expression, I want to build images and senses, rhythms that speak mostly to the experience, the kinesthetics.

Yes, Xavier Velasco. he is like a Thomas Pynchon plus Quevedo. But he is trapped in the same mexican vein. His most known works is about a girl who crosses the border and becomes a prostitute in NYC.

Look to the Communist Manifesto, Mao's Little Red Book, Mein Kampf, We, the Living and Qaddafi's the Green Book for examples. Call back to mythic lore and history and talk of rebuilding a better future.

Fucking do it OP. America is a pretty boring continent. I would be glad if you managed to publish your manifesto.

Make sure there's an endgame. Since you are a chicano I'm pretty sure it would be le ebin Reconquista but that seems too crazy.
