He also co-founded and published many stories in the literary magazine Pan. He spent his evenings and weekends reading and attending literature classes at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Rulfo moved to Mexico City after secondary school and briefly attended the National Military Academy, but he ended up working as a government clerk instead. In fact, Rulfo’s father was murdered in a dispute over land during this period.
These events, which marked him for life, form the historical backdrop to his work. His family were conservative landowners who suffered during the Mexican Revolution and Cristero War. Mexican writer Juan Rulfo was born in rural Jalisco, just across the state border from Comala, and raised in the state capital of Guadalajara.
