«Ces foutus tropiques» is a miscellany by writer Paco Ignacio Taibo II, published by Métailié in paperback (310 pages, in French).
Ces foutus tropiques brings together three short novels, reportage on life in Mexico City, essays on Mexican politics, memoirs, chronicles, and interview excerpts. Paco Ignacio Taibo II defines the book as his personal version of Mexico at the end of the twentieth century, a text that crosses fiction, reportage, and historical-political essay.
Edition published on March 19, 2003, translated by François Gaudry; the original, «Primavera pospuesta», had appeared in 1999.
For readers interested in contemporary Mexican narrative and in blends of journalism, memory, and fiction.
