EMPIRE OF HUMILIATION by James Jens Brusseau
As a Latin American woman I read Empire of Humiliation hoping for a novel that I could relate to, and I wasn’t disappointed. I loved the descriptions of Mexico DF which made me feel like I was back there again. I mean the description of dinner plates at outdoor restaurants getting so coated by the oily air pollution that you can write on them with your finger, that’s exactly how terrible it is. So for anyone who wants a look at nitty-gritty Mexico, at least the cities, this fulfills. Maybe it’s one of those things where because the author is a foreigner living in Mexico, he actually sees and feels some parts better than we do who have lived there since we were young.
