Green with Envy
Thursday, December 4th, 2008
Over lunch I read Juan Villoro’s short story, “Mariachi,” which will be published in February in Best of Contemporary Mexican Fiction (Dalkey Archive).
It. Is. Hilarious.
It’s not too rare that I read a story I wish I’d written myself–but I rarely wish I could steal it and put it in my own in-progress collection. Villoro doesn’t seem to have been translated into English much, but I’m hoping to find more.
