Mexico has long been the top travel destination for
Americans. But until now, there has not been such a
panoramic vision of Mexico offered by some of Mexico's
finest contemporary writers of fiction and literary prose.
Here are writings-many translated for the first time-that
bring you to the people of the beaches, the deserts,
jungles, snow-capped mountains, and megacities. The voices are rich and diverse, the stories enthralling and
strange. These writings shatter stereotypes as they provide
a rollicking journey from the Pacific to the Gulf, from
Yucatan to border slums, from humble ranchos to a fabulous
mountaintop castle. Contributors include rising stars as well as many of
Mexico's best-known literary writers, including: Fernando
del Paso, Elena Poniatowska, Carlos Fuentes, Angeles
Mastretta, Alberto Ruy-Sanchez, Ilan Stavans, and Juan Villoro.
