El ciego, la cabeza y el golpe
Paco Ignacio Taibo II

SHORT STORIES | 2013 | 144 pages

Dash Hammett finds himself embroiled in a criminal war over a piece of Pancho Villa's belongings; novelist José Daniel Fierro discovers a corpse on his doorstep; a disaffected mob organizes to take action. Throughout El ciego, la cabeza, y el golpe, Paco Ignacio Taibo II recreates a universe as delirious as reality itself, where the darkest characters—the reader will discover what the ruthless Moran and the corrupt Ibarra are capable of—alongside the most surprising characters, such as Chief Fierro and Dr. Galeana, come to life. This volume brings together Mi amigo Moran, El mundo en los ojos de un ciego, and Máscara Azteca y el Doctor Niebla: three impactful novellas where the author reaffirms his commitment to the neo-noir genre with narrative mastery and dark humor.
