Mexicana

Mexicana is Manuel Arroyo-Stephens' very personal, entertaining and original tribute to Mexico and its overwhelming capital, to its past and present, to its flavors, smells and colors, to its skies, lands and seas, and above all to its characters , own and adopted, with whom the author was lucky enough to cross paths during the years he lived between Mexico and Spain. In this text straddling the memoirs, the chronicle and the diary, the reader will discover a narrator capable of recreating with extraordinary vivacity not only the speech and idiosyncrasy of the chilangos (the proud inhabitants of the Federal District), but all the confusion and the fascination produced in the stranger by the episodes with which Mexico seems willing to retain him over and over again.
