Mexican Literature and the London Book Fair

Available for over a year

As the literature of Mexico is celebrated at the London Book Fair, we talk to two of the country's contemporary writers. Mariella discusses The Story of My Teeth with Valeria Luiselli - an idiosyncratic tale of Gustav "Highway" Sanchez who becomes the best auctioneer in the world by weaving elaborate stories for his unusual collectibles. Mexican novelist and contributor to the "Crack Manifesto" Jorge Volpi makes his case for reinventing Mexico's literary legacy. This month's guest editor Mark Richards of John Murray picks out his top tip for May - Lawrence Osborne's Hunters In the Dark. And in the Reading Clinic, writer Melissa Harrison offers up literary advice for visiting students as she picks out her recommendations for depictions of English contemporary life in short stories.
