Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In a broken-down Middle American town, the disintegration of a struggling family ? its ambitions and emotions worn thin ? is laid bare through the cold eyes of its only son. While studying at the local community college to finish his degree, he works what his divorced parents deem to be menial jobs and tries to stay out of their way, keeping his pitiless observations about their lives to himself. He says nothing about his semi-estranged father?s doomed attempts to find meaning in strip-mall spirituality. He says nothing about his mother?s willingness to subjugate herself to men he deems unworthy. He says nothing about the anonymity and emptiness to which their social classes and places of birth seem to have condemned everyone he knows, robbing them of even the vocabulary to express their grievances. He says nothing about his own pity, disgust, compassion, tenderness, and love ? and when his father enters a bodybuilding competition, he swallows his scorn and agrees to help. Instantly relatable, impeccably realized, and grimly hilarious, My Father?s Diet is equal parts Kierkegaard, This Side of Paradise, and Pumping Iron: an autopsy of antiquated notions of manhood, and the perfect, bite-sized novel for a world always keen to mistake narcissism for introspection.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Winner of the 2016 Herralde Prize?I don?t expect anyone to believe me,? warns the narrator of this novel, a Mexican student called Juan Pablo Villalobos. He is about to fly to Barcelona on a scholarship when he?s kidnapped in a bookshop and whisked away by thugs to a basement. The gangsters are threatening his cousin?a wannabe entrepreneur known to some as ?Projects? and to others as ?dickhead??who is gagged and tied to a chair. The thugs say Juan Pablo must work for them. His mission? To make Laia, the daughter of a corrupt politician, fall in love with him. He accepts. . . . though not before the crime boss has forced him at gunpoint into a discussion on the limits of humour in literature. Part campus novel, part gangster thriller, I Don?t Expect Anyone to Believe Me is Villalobos at his best. Exuberantly foul-mouthed and intellectually agile, this hugely entertaining novel finds the light side of difficult subjects?immigration, corruption, family loyalty and love?in a world where the difference between comedy and tragedy depends entirely on who?s telling the joke.Praise for Juan Pablo Villalobos:'Funny, convincing, appalling.a punch-packer.' Ali Smith'Savagely funny.' Lili Wright, New York Times.…
