Publisher's Synopsis
A clever, hopeful, young graduate, Tito López, is poised at the entry to adulthood as well as a whole new millennium. Living in a provincial Mexican city at the turn of the 21st century he wants what most of us want ... a career, love, happiness. But will he find any of them on Cerro del Calvario?
What's up with his nunnish clever sister Angelita? Will the deer's eye work - the amulet given by the wrinkled family workhorse, María? Who's the mysterious blond god, Salvador?
The Unused Life of Tito López portrays the Lopez family in a way that will seem familiar to those from middle-class suburban amilies almost anywhere else in the world. Meanwhile, readers from outside Mexico will be intrigued by the sense of other, parallel, exotic, existences in our contemporary world.
