Para entender "Regina", hay que leer Regina (1987), la novela homónima de Velasco Piña. En sus páginas, la calle deja de ser una simple vialidad para convertirse en un arquetipo: es el camino de la iniciación, la morada de una mujer enigmática (Regina, la protagonista) que posee la sabiduría ancestral de las tradiciones esotéricas mexicanas. La calle es el umbral entre el México opresor y el México posible.
