Down the Rabbit Hole: A Novel
Meer oor hierdie e-boek
Tochtli lives in a palace. He loves hats, samurai, guillotines, and dictionaries. What he wants more than anything right now is a new pet for his private zoo: a pygmy hippopotamus from Liberia.
But Tochtli is a child whose father is a drug baron on the verge of taking over a powerful cartel. His palacial home is a luxury hideout that he shares with hit men, prostitutes, dealers, servants, and the odd corrupt politician or two.
Longlisted for The Guardian First Book Award, 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 brief and majestic debut.” —Matias Nespolo, El Mundo
