Beschreibung:
Carlos Monsiváis is the author of Mexican Postcards, Lost Love, Scenes of Frivolity and Shame, Free Entry and The Rituals of Chaos.
In this first translation in book form of his work, Latin American social commentator Carlos Monsivais presents an extraordinary chronicle of contemporary life south of the Rio Grande, ranging over subjects as various as Latino hip hop, Dolores del Rio, boleros, and melodrama. Monsivais's chronicles are laconic and satirical, taking as a constant theme the conflicts between Mexican and North American culture and between modern and traditional ways of life.
