Considering the deep messages of sin and guilt in the novel, the idea expressed here is that it is very easy to fall down into the pits of sin, but much more difficult to pull oneself out. In other words, the trip away will be "uphill" and not easy to accomplish. Indeed, Comala will prove something of a purgatory that requires a long period of difficult self-reflection to escape. The idea of heading "downhill" into a location helps establish the quasi-epic nature of the work, which echoes stories where heroes descend into the afterlife (e.g. For the reader, this immediately establishes a metaphoric significance to Comala before we discover how truly supernatural the town is. 4Īs Juan Preciado approaches Comala, he hears the voice of his mother (set apart in italics). ![]() ![]() If you are leaving, it's uphill but as you arrive it's downhill.

Tim, my youngest brother, put in a heating system when our mother got sick. Mom believed foods had hot and cold energies that harmonized the body, allowing it to govern health. Though my mother died in 2003, I still hear her at every meal, admonishing me for eating avocadoes, grapefruit, watermelons, any salad or raw food, all too cooling.
