Horizontal Vertigo: A city called Mexico

Horizontal Vertigo: A City Called Mexico by Juan Villoro
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A great mosaic of experiences in Mexico City - "Chilangopolis"
Places I'm very familiar with, others I've never visited -Mexico City is huge.
Great descriptions of idiosyncrasies that I'd never realized were exclusive to Mexicans in general, and Chilangos in particular.

The chapters devoted to the earthquakes of 1985 and 2017 are particularly harrowing.

Great read.
