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."
