México, Tierra Inaudita

The people in this collection of 19 stories are neither celebrities nor important public figures--they're everyday Mexicans who experience violence, hunger, and transborder life; they're Mexicans who enjoy the excesses of celebrity and Acapulco; they're bureaucrats and salespeople who live modest lives. These stories are told in rich detail in search of the places and the people who make up the Mexican landscape but who might typically go unnoticed.
