Current format, Book, 2020, Primera edición., Available ."Una tarde de otoño en la Ciudad de México, Luisa, de diecisiete años, no regresa a casa. En su lugar, aborda un camión a la costa del Pacífico con Tomás, un muchacho al que apenas conoce. Él parece representar todo lo que le falta a su vida: temeridad, impulso e independencia. Y Tomás también puede ayudarla a satisfacer una extraña obsesión: encontrar a la compañía de enanos ucranianos. Según los reportes del periódico, los enanos escaparon recientemente de un circo soviético durante una gira por México. Los imaginados destinos de estos artistas circenses llenan los surrealistas sueños de Luisa cuando se instala en una comunidad playera de Oaxaca. Rodeada de hippies, nudistas, buscadores de tesoros y excéntricos contadores de historias, ella busca a alguien, a quien sea, que le prometa que sin importar nada, seguirá siendo un misterio. Todo esto es una misión más fácil de imaginar que de lograr. Mientras pasea por la orilla del mar y visita el bar local, Luisa comienza a desaparecer peligrosamente de las vidas de los desconocidos de Zipolite, la Playa de los muertos." --
"One autumn afternoon in Mexico City, seventeen-year-old Luisa does not return home. Instead, she takes a truck to the Pacific coast with Tomás, a boy she hardly knows. He seems to represent everything that her life lacks: recklessness, drive, and independence. And Tomas can also help her satisfy a strange obsession: finding the company of Ukrainian dwarves. According to newspaper reports, the dwarves recently escaped from a Soviet circus during a tour of Mexico. The imagined destinies of these circus performers fill Luisa's surreal dreams when she settles in a beach community in Oaxaca. Surrounded by hippies, nudists, treasure hunters and eccentric storytellers, she searches for someone, anybody, who will promise that no matter what, she will remain a mystery. All of this is a mission easier to imagine than to accomplish. As she strolls along the seashore and visits the local bar, Luisa begins to dangerously disappear from the lives of the strangers in Zipolite, the Beach of the Dead." --
