Description
Daniel Sada's novel "Almost Never" is a bold and irreverent tale set in post-war Mexico. In this Rabelaisian story, Demetrio Sordo navigates the complexities of love, lust, and identity. Demetrio's life is marked by a dull routine, but his desire for excitement leads him to a bordello, where he meets Mireya, a prostitute with her own secrets. As Demetrio becomes embroiled in a passionate relationship with Mireya, he receives an unexpected letter from his mother, asking him to accompany her to a wedding in northern Mexico. There, he meets Renata, a beautiful and virginal young woman who sparks a new kind of love. As Demetrio struggles to balance his two relationships, he must confront the societal expectations that govern his life. "Almost Never" is a brilliant send-up of Latin American machismo, offering a nuanced portrayal of a country on the cusp of change.
