Long before he was the taco seller whose 'Gringo Dog' recipe made
him famous throughout Mexico City, our hero was an aspiring artist:
an artist, that is, till his would-be girlfriend was stolen by
Diego Rivera, and his dreams snuffed out by his hypochondriac
mother. Now our hero is resident in a retirement home, where
fending off boredom is far more gruelling than making tacos.
Plagued by the literary salon that bumps about his building's lobby
and haunted by the self-pitying ghost of a neglected artist,
Villalobos' old man can't help but misbehave: he antagonises his
neighbours, tortures American missionaries with passages from
Adorno, and flirts with the revolutionary greengrocer. A delicious
take-down of pretensions to cultural posterity, I'll Sell You a Dog
is a comic novel whose absurd inventions, scurrilous antics and
oddball characters are vintage Villalobos.
