While Villoro is also a novelist, playwright and journalist, he has chosen Mexico City, his hometown, as the subject of this entertaining survey of what it means to be a Chilango (a native of the largest city in North America) and describes people and places along with the city’s cultural, political and social history from the Aztecs to the present day. Described by Paul Theroux as “the wittiest, wisest, most detailed and enlightened” book about Mexico City he has read, we urge you to read the book and join us for the discussion.
