Travel Advisory:Stories of Mexico

by David Lida

Review by Ron Mader
webmaster of Planeta.com

"It's hard to believe this is the author's first collection of short stories. The prose is composed by a pro who knows Mexico inside out. Lida weaves together dark tales of witches, run-aways, maids, travel writers and exploitative tourists. To choose a favorite story is an impossible task. The entire collection shines." Review by Ron Mader

 

The Mexican newspaper Reforma ran an interview with David Lida, in late July, about TRAVEL ADVISORY: STORIES OF MEXICO. The interview, titled "Un gringo a la mexicana," can be found on the following link: http://www.reforma.com/cultura/articulo/021956/

They also ran an excellent translation (into Spanish by Andres Tapia) of one of the short stories, "Taxi." http://www.reforma.com/cultura/articulo/021955/
