Mutant Republic

The Topete are quite a case: a fail-safe inventor and revolutionary, a housewife with all good intentions that do not come to fruition, a girl who loves the gloomy, and a collector of scabs make up this unique family that seeks to leave a suffocating neighborhood in Mexico City to find a better life. And it seems that they are going to achieve it: the opportunity has come for them to move to Pangea, a recently created country that is eagerly looking for settlers, but that hides more than progress and happiness for those who, like the Topete, dare to inhabit it. Mutant Republic is Mexican black humor in its most lucid and fine expression. Ten years after it was published for having won a prestigious youth literature award, it is only fair that adult readers also enjoy this hilarious social satire.
