Party in the hideout

Book name: A Party in the Den Author: Juan Pablo Bielopodar Publisher: Saffah Seven Book classification: Novels Number of pages: About the book: Tootschtli loves hats, dictionaries, samurai warriors, saws, and the French, but he is just a child and all he now wants is a pygmy Liberian hippopotamus as a new animal in his private zoo. As for his father, Yulkaout — a drug dealer at the height of his power — he is ready to satisfy all his whims. It doesn't matter that it is a rare animal facing extinction because Yulkaout is always capable. Tootschtli lives in a palace; a gold-covered den, with thirteen or maybe fourteen people among killers, prostitutes, smugglers, maids, and a corrupt politician. Also with them is Mathathin, his private teacher, who sees the world as a place full of injustice where imperialists are always to blame for everything. "A Party in the Den" is more than just a promising first novel. It is the story of a wild journey to fulfill a whim. Severed heads, rivers of blood, human remains, and mountains of corpses. The den is Mexico, and as everyone knows: Mexico is sometimes a wonderful country and at other times a cursed country. That’s how things go, because life ultimately is just a party; just a game.
