Books like Palinuro de México by Fernando del Paso


"The gargantuan epic of medical student Palinuro's quest for the relationships between knowledge, myth, history, and art as he journeys through the real and imaginary realms of Mexico's cultural body. Original published in 1977 (see HLAS 42:5203) and winner of numerous international awards. Translation is inventive and 'reads like hypertext' (New York Times Book Review, 11 Aug. 1996). Lacks the introduction needed to bring its huge dimensions of slapstick and satire within reader's grasp"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
