Description:... From the perspective of a North American who knows Mexico intimately, George Szanto spoke with Mexican fiction writers. In telling their stories they disclose a civilization, a hidden Mexico beyond its sunny beaches and steep pyramids, and explore what is concealed by the facades of political institutions and cultural beliefs -- what lies hidden inside the statues of saints.
