    About this ebook

    FIRST PLACE FOR FICTION

    A winner! Mesmerizing! Stunning! Elegant! Captivating! Powerful! Lush! Magical realism that seduces the reader from beginning to end!

    URSULA K. LE GUIN says:
    "What a romp! Let Baross take you for a wild ride...through an extravagantly carnal Mexico of the imagination."

    JOSE BUILDS A WOMAN is a camel gallop through one of the most outrageous love stories ever told. The multi-layered saga revolves around a sensual outcast, Tortugina, the queen of bad love and Gabito, a jealous octopus diver. Tortugina’s pursuit of a forbidden dream endangers everything: her life, Gabito’s life, the life of her husband and her son, Jose, a boy obsessed with marrying a nun. Against all odds, through murder and extraordinary sexual encounters, Tortugina never abandons her dream.

      Fiction is a Power Trip: The Millions Interviews Eleanor Henderson

      Sep 25, 2017

      "I think we have to acknowledge that fiction does have that dangerous allure. Is it presumptuous? Sure. It’s a sacred enterprise, it’s the best means of empathy and understanding we have, and it’s also presumptuous." The post Fiction is a Power Trip:
