Prime Meridian

Résumé du livre

From the bestselling author of Mexican Gothic comes a novella about the price of dreams in a ravaged near-future.

"A subtle and powerful tale of Mars, movies, and Mexico City which stands amongst the best novellas of the past few years." —Jonathan Strahan, Locus

Amelia dreams of Mars. The Mars of the movies and the imagination, an endless bastion of opportunities for a colonist with some guts. But she's trapped in Mexico City, enduring the drudgery of an unkind metropolis, working as a rent-a-friend, selling her blood to old folks with money who hope to rejuvenate themselves with it, enacting a fractured love story. And yet there's Mars, at the edge of the silver screen, of life.
