Description
A
brilliant, prize-winning collection of stories by Mexico's most important
living writer. From the semiotics of pet iguanas to the disillusionment of
mariachi singers, Villoro reveals the deep dissatisfactions and absurdities of
life in Mexico and its carnivalesque capital. We encounter a border trucker
making a movie about illegal migrants, a cuckolded football superstar, and a
gluten-free American journalist seeking the
authentic Mexican experience. A master of the post-modern narrative, Villoro
gives us contemporary Mexico through a complex interplay of culture and
character psychology in the most surprising, fresh and humorous ways.
