"Outstanding political fantasy. Eduardo Rabasa has written a
futuristic novel set in the present; its inventiveness is not based
on new technologies but rather on new kinds of relationships." --
Juan Villoro A hilarious satire and universal exploration of the
origins of power and corruption. A Zero-Sum Game uses the
highly-charged election for the presidency of a residents'
committee and the influence of a powerful stranger to both expose
those in power and to sympathize with individuals who find
themselves caught in the paradox of empowerment and impotence that
is modern consumer society and the democratic state. Eduardo Rabasa
is the founding editorial director of Sexto Piso, Mexico's most
prominent independent publishing house, and was selected to the Hay
Festival's Mexico20 list of the greatest Mexican authors under the
age of forty.
