Last Date in El Zapotal

"Imagine Leaving Las Vegas set in Mexico. A man addicted to heroin arrives in the town of El Zapotal, rents a room and plans to die alone with a stash of the great love of his life. Things get surreal when he can’t seem to complete the task at hand and his drugs run out. As he goes through withdrawal, memories blur into hallucinations that blur into reality and back until the reader can’t tell where life ends and the afterlife begins. Mateo García Elizondo’s prose is filled with gallows humor and imagistic surprises."
