Summary
Contemporary fiction, now in English, from a rising star among Mexican novelists
Author Biography
Mexican novelist David Toscana describes his narrative aesthetics as ôrealismo desquiciadoö (unrestrained realism), breaking with the Latin trend of magic realism through a prose that keeps an eye on the concrete experience of life in all its absurdity and lavish strangeness. In its original Spanish El ·ltimo lector was awarded the National Colima Prize, the PrTmio JosT Fuentes Mares, and the Antonin Artaud Prize and was also shortlisted for Latin America's most important literary award, the R=mulo Gallegos International Novel Prize.
Asa Zatz has translated more than seventy-five Spanish-language books, including works of Carlos Fuentes, Gabriel Garcfa Mßrquez, and Mario Vargas Llosa.
