Travel advisory : stories of Mexico stories of Mexico / David Lida - New York : William Morrow and Company, Inc. , c2000 - 208 p. ; 25 cm
Bewitched -- Free trade -- Taxi -- A beach day -- La quedada -- Regrets -- Prenuptial agreement -- The recruiting officer -- Shuttered -- Acapulco gold
Sometimes viciously funny, sometimes achingly sad, the stories' unique characters include a woman journalist who finds more realism than magic while visiting a witch in a backwater swamp; a gay video producer in Mexico City who has a fateful encounter with an American grad student; and a nine-year-old child living on the streets of Acapulco until he encounters a form of rescue from an opportunistic American. Lida's stories dramatically illustrate what happens when Mexicans' and Americans' expectations of one another are fulfilled -- or turned inside out.
