The book is an extension of the authors’ research into the crossroads of legality and illegality, the visible and the invisible, the overflowing of reality, climatic phenomena, public and private zoos, the transfiguration of economics and politics, disasters, and the efficiency of inefficiency.
The volume contains two texts of paradoxical relevance and topicality: “Paletón and the Musical Elephant,” by Jorge Ibargüengoitia and “The Origin of Species,” by Yuri Herrera. A re-contextualized children’s story and an text written especially for the project that seeks to decipher the enigma of contemporary Mexico through humor and fiction.
