Gustavo 'Highway' Sanchez is a man with a mission: he is planning
to replace every last one of his unsightly teeth. He has a few
skills that might help him on his way: he can imitate Janis Joplin
after two rums, he can interpret Chinese fortune cookies, he can
stand an egg upright on a table, and he can float on his back. And,
of course, he is the world's best auction caller - although other
people might not realise this, because he is, by nature, very
discreet. Studying auctioneering under Grandmaster Oklahoma and the
famous country singer Leroy Van Dyke, Highway travels the world,
amassing his collection of 'Collectibles' and perfecting his own
specialty: the allegoric auction. In his quest for a perfect set of
pearly whites, he finds unusual ways to raise the funds,
culminating in the sale of the jewels of his collection: the teeth
of the 'notorious infamous' - Plato, Petrarch, Chesterton, Virginia
Woolf et al. Written with elegance, wit and exhilarating boldness,
Valeria Luiselli takes us on an idiosyncratic and hugely enjoyable
journey that offers an insightful meditation on value, worth and
creation, and the points at which they overlap.
