Description
Occupying similar ground to "Open City" and "10:04", Aridjis's third novel provides an intoxicating portrait of Mexican youth culture in the 1980s, as seventeen-year-old Luisa takes off with a stranger to find a troupe of missing Ukrainian circus dwarves, with an immersion in the eccentric 'Beach of the Dead' community following.
