Description

A novella and four stories set in Mexico. In the novella, Everything About Seals, a relationship is revealed through the act of a man stalking a woman. Of the stories, Tijuana Times is on a youth gang, and Anticipating Incorporation is on a man's military service.

First Sentence

In an article on the cultural impact of the North American Free Trade Agreement, Carlos Monsivais suggests that the old definition of Mexican identity-most famously articulated by Octavio Paz in his controversial 1950s best-seller, Labyrinth of Solitude-is based on a binary play of opposites: civilization vs. barbarism, Mexico City vs. the provinces, culture vs. desolation.
