I'll Sell You a Dog by Juan Pablo Villalobos
4.0
I’ll admit that some of the politics of this story escaped me, but the characters here are similar to characters in an Almodovar movie. The narrative is told from a man that just gets a coveted spot in a high rise in Mexico City. The residents erroneously believe he is an artist and welcome him with open new arms.
But he isn’t an artist and so the residents turn against a him. That’s not even the point though. It’s just a story about a man trying to get through his silver years with minimal effort. I like the characters. The story moves quickly and there are moments that had me laughing and smiling.
Also, I like the title because this storyline is pretty funny in itself.
