The Guilty: Stories

By Juan Villoro & Kimi Traube
The Guilty: Stories by Juan Villoro & Kimi Traube digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

“The literature of Juan Villoro…is opening up the path of the new Spanish novel of the millennium.” Roberto Bolano

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.
