In our second "Read Around the World" episode (the first being Episode 55), we turn our focus to our neighbors just south of us... the rich, fascinating, troubled and beautiful mystery that is Mexico. We touch on famous Mexican writers such as Paz, Fuentes and Ruflo, but also recommend titles in different genres (comic novels, crime novels, thrillers, reportage, histories) in our effort to cover as much literary ground as we can. We even hit a few recent "buzzy" books that have garnered a lot of attention and acclaim - but do they pass muster with the BXC twins? That's the burning question the world needs to know! As always, thanks for listening - we hope you enjoy this second literary excursion to other parts of the world. There will be more!
