Description
One of Lit Hub and The Millions' most anticipated books of 2019.
“Funny, futuristic, phenomenal, Fernando A. Flores is from another galaxy. Fasten your seat belt. You are in for a stupendous ride.” (Sandra Cisneros)
A parallel universe. South Texas. Narcotics are legal, and there’s a new contraband on the market: ancient Olmec artifacts, shrunken indigenous heads, and filtered animals - species of animals brought back from extinction to clothe, feed, and generally amuse the very wealthy. Esteban Bellacosa has lived in the border town of MacArthur long enough to know to keep quiet and avoid the dangerous syndicates who make their money through trafficking.
But his simple life starts to get complicated when the swashbuckling investigative journalist Paco Herbert invites him to come to an illegal underground dinner serving filtered animals. Bellacosa soon finds himself in the middle of an increasingly perilous, surreal, psychedelic journey, where he encounters legends of the long-disappeared Aranaña Indian tribe and their object of worship: the mysterious Trufflepig, said to possess strange powers.
Written with infectious verve, bold imagination, and oddball humor, Fernando A. Flores’s debut, Tears of the Trufflepig, is an absurdist take on life along the border, an ode to the myths of Mexican culture, a dire warning against the one percent’s determination to dictate society’s decline, and a nuanced investigation of loss. It’s also the perfect introduction for Flores: a wonderfully weird, staggeringly smart new voice in American fiction, and a mythmaker of the highest order.

Kept on thinking about this book
This book was entertaining, the ideas were thought provoking, and the voices of the various characters rang true. When I kept on thinking about this book, I realized that I wanted to give a specific shout out to the narrator. His voice had a tone that screamed vulnerability and honesty in the most subtle way. Mr. Castillo was a huge reason I enjoyed the book and, now that I think about it, was the reason I found this book in the first place. I listened to a short story read by him and another woman and then looked for other books read by him. Lovely job, Mr. Castillo.
