What Tochtli wants more than anything right now is a new pet for his private zoo: a pygmy hippopotamus from Liberia. But Tochtli is growing up in his drug baron father's luxury hideout, shared with hit men and dealers. Down the Rabbit Hole, a masterful and darkly-comic first novel, is the chronicle of a delirious journey to grant a child's wish.
A new novel from the Mexican author of "Down The Rabbit Hole" and "Quesadillas", following the life of an old man who was once an artist, and then a taco seller. A comic take-down of pretensions to cultural posterity with scurrilous antics and oddball characters.
Tochtli lives in a palace. He loves hats, samurai, guillotines, and more. But Tochtli is a child whose father is a drug baron on the verge of taking over a powerful cartel, and Tochtli is growing up in a luxury hideout. Long-listed for "The Guardian" First Book Award, a masterful and darkly comic first novel chronicling a delirious journey to grant a child's wish.
