Download or read book Palinuro of Mexico written by Fernando del Paso and published by Dalkey Archive Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like those writers to whom he has been compared--Fuentes, Garcia Marquez, James Joyce, and Rabelais--del Paso draws upon myth, science, and world literature to expand his particular story to universal proportions. Telling the story of a medical medical student who's engaged in an incestuous affair with his cousin, the novel satirizes advertising, politics, pornography, and mythology, while at the same time celebrating the body with a thoroughness that only a student of medicine could manage.
