Tijuana Bebop
ISBN: 9781539192688 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A hellish report of postmodern schizophrenia.... Tijuana Bebop is not a novel so much as it's a series of short stories that tie together to portray the hell-hole that was mid-1990's Tijuana, Mexico. Blasini's travelogue brings you deep into an exotic land you've never visited before. Rare is the book which leaves one so disoriented and raw-nerved. An excruciatingly penetrating vision of the total dregs; a narrative of self-delusion, rough trade, addiction, meaningless sex, and the truly devastating absence of love. A phenomenal work of art that's raw, revolting, and insidious. The author...
