Description

“Of my era I most appreciate Daniel Sada, whose publishing task appears to me the most daring.” —Roberto BolañoThis Rabelaisian story of yearning and lust within the drier precincts of post-war Mexico presents among Latin America’s most respected authors towards the English-speaking world. Demetrio Sordo is definitely an agronomist who passes his days in a boring but remunerative work in a farm near Oaxaca. It's 1945, World-War II has just-ended, but these bloody activities have experienced no effect on a nation that's solely on the edge of industrializing. Oneday, more bored than normal, Demetrio trips a bordello looking for a libidinous means to fix his malaise.
