Description
Set in the bourgeois calm of a Mexican corner neighborhood, this intensely strange novel follows a chain of mishearings and misunderstandings that spiral into escalating, surreal action. As voices, sounds, and perceptions slip out of alignment, the story builds toward a man-made upheaval—part thriller, part dream logic—where the mind’s unreliability becomes both engine and theme. With Leonora Carrington’s signature surrealist sensibility, the book revels in inconclusive ideas, uncanny reimaginings, and the odd mechanics of human consciousness. Equal parts darkly playful and unsettling, it invites readers to question what we think we know when reality is filtered through the ear, the imagination, and the stories we tell ourselves.
