Horizontal Vertigo: A City Called Mexico,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
At once intimate and wideranging, and as enthralling, surprising, and vivid as the place itself, this is a uniquely eyeopening tour of one of the great metropolises of the world, and its largest Spanishspeaking city.Horizontal Vertigo: The title refers to the fear of everimpending earthquakes that led Mexicans to build their capital city outward rather than upward. With the perspicacity of a keenly observant flaneur, Juan Villoro wanders through Mexico City seemingly without a plan, describing people, places, and things while brilliantly drawing connections among them. In so doing he reveals, in all its multitudinous glory, the vicissitudes and triumphs of the city s cultural, political, and social history: from indigenous antiquity to the Aztec period, from the Spanish conquest to Mexico City todayone of the worlds leading cultural and financial centers.In this deeply iconoclastic book, Villoro organizes his text around a recurring series of topics: Living in the City, City Characters, Shocks, Crossings, and Ceremonies. What he achieves, miraculously, is a stunning, intriguingly coherent meditation on Mexico Citys genius loci, its spirit of place.
