Save:A slow story playing in south Texas and northern Mexico, involving the famed trufflepig. A quiet tale like a travel diary through one man's eyes, live. Gentle, philosophical, at times the story seems surrealistic in style. For me a fascinating, worth wile read. Similar to Rita Indiana's La Mucama de Omicunle, Flores adroitly mixes Mexican folklore with science fiction to create a dark future where the mega rich feast on filtered animals long since extinct and criminal syndicates cater to these whims. An investigative reporter attends a dinner and plans to write an expose, and by fate meets a local old widower whose brother has been kidnapped. Things then get violent and mystical. The book is a fascinating creative novel about the future of the US Mexican border towns struck with a global food shortage which has forced scientist to find ways to make synthetic plants and animals. Drugs have been legalized but other forms of illicit activities are the rage and gangs whose stock in trade were money and violence still rampage the border communities. The author is a great wordsmith and the books crackles with pulsating beautiful prose with multidimensional characters. The narrator suffers the kids of a daughter, his wife and his brother. I liked the presence of characters from Europe, South America, Detroit and intertwined historical facts from the bible, the second world war and the Indians of Mexico. It has elements of a thriller, noir, science fiction. A book that's made a pig a lovable creature that can fly and bake their own bacon is a literary triumph.
