THE UNCOMFORTABLE DEAD
a novel by Subcomandante Marcos & Paco I. Taibo II
268 pages, trade paperback original, $15.95
“Great writers by definition are outriders, raiders of a sort, sweeping down from wilderness territories to disturb the peace, overrun the status quo and throw into question everything we know to be true . . . On its face, the novel is a murder mystery, and at the book's heart, always, is a deep love of Mexico and its people.”
âLos Angeles Times Book Review

. . . [with] a surprising, genuinely moving conclusion.”
âSan Francisco Chronicle
