Books by Eloy Urroz

A dazzling literary card game: an investigation into how and why we fall into or out of love--with a person or a book.

Ricardo is making himself sick over his obsession with the girl next door and Elias is hopelessly infatuated with a local prostitute. One lives in the bustle of Mexico City, the other in the quiet of a tiny Baja California town. They both find themselves in a world dominated by desire where "love begins to wither from the moment it takes root".
