Description:
Ignacio Solares, celebrated Mexican novelist, interviewed people suffering from alcohol-related visions, 11 of whose stories he interweaves in a fascinating literary exploration of a human drama on the brink of insanity. Blurring the line between fiction and nonfiction and between night and day, Delirium Tremens tells a multifaceted, powerfully textured tale of personal, social, and emotional trauma and courage that leads some tortured souls back to the surface of reality. The original version of the book was published in 1979 and has sold over 50,000 copies in Mexico. This version is translated by Timothy G. Compton, a professor of Spanish with a research specialty in Mexican literature.
