Paperback

Overview

A painter-turned-taco-seller, famous in Mexico City for his ‘Gringo Dog’ recipe, hates retirement. Plagued by the literary salon bumping about his building’s lobby, haunted by the self-pitying ghost of a neglected artist, he can’t help but misbehave — and in so doing delivers a deliciously absurdist take-down of pretensions to cultural posterity.

Reviews
'I'll Sell You A Dog is a reminder of how effortless literature should be to love. This unexpected ride through a character's second childhood, his building, neighbourhood and history is so magically twisted that it could be real. As ever Villalobos writes a peephole through politics and time, to simply watch us dance in all our lurid whimsy.'
