In Mexico City he's a young poet eager to prove himself. In Montreal--an opioid addict desperate for relief. In Madrid--a lonely student seeking pleasure in grotesque extremes. These now diverging, now coalescing selves raise questions: Where can we find authenticity? How do we construct the stories that define us? What if our formative memories are closer to fiction than truth? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSaldaña París turns to literature and film, poetry and philosophy for answers. The result is a hybrid of memoir and criticism, \"a sensory work, full of soundscapes, filth, planes, closed spaces, open vastness\" (\u003ci\u003eEl País\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDANIEL SALDAÑA PARÍS\u003c\/b\u003e is a Mexican writer based in New York and Mexico City.
