México Bizarro

Format: Paperback

Condition: Very Good — £13.15
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

En breves e irreverentes anécdotas, en las que la acidez y el humor se desbordan sin timidez, México bizarro retrata un país tan surrealista que lo mismo tiene sabor a chiste que a pesadilla. En sus páginas se encuentran episodios como aquel en que una vidente fue contratada por un fiscal para resolver un homicidio, el exótico cortejo fúnebre a la pierna de Santa Anna, la huelga de hambre de un expresidente que dejó al país en la quiebra, la rodilla que Sara García se fracturó a propósito para ser la eterna abuela del cine, la trágica vida de la Mataviejitas y la funesta ocasión en la que se repartió al pueblo miles de litros de leche con heces fecales. La pericia del historiador Alejandro Rosas y la astucia periodística de Julio Patán narran los hechos que nuestra historia habría querido esconder bajo la alfombra y las anécdotas que destapan cloacas en las que la versión oficial dista de la realidad de México, el país al que el adjetivo bizarro parece quedarle como un traje a la medida. Un libro que sólo puede hacerse en México.
