Manhatitlán

In the sequel to The Codex Mojaodicus, Steven Alvarez's experimental Manhatitlán returns to the mythopoetic mode to build a network of layered rhythms, designs, images, languages, and voices, with the nodal point centered on Mexican New York City, past, present, and future. The novel in verse weaves narratives, histories, and stories into a slanguage chingazo straight to the panza.
