Front and rear panels and spine of dustwrapper bright. ***236mm x 164mm. 531 pages ***Not even Tolstoy's War and Peace took on a subject so vast: although Mexico in all its vivid particularity is where the story of Christopher Unborn takes place, what that story is about is not Mexico but mankind: are we going to survive? Indeed, do we deserve to? ***The framework: attempting to appease a desperate populace by keeping it amused, the Mexican government of 1992 force-feeds it with "media events", one of them a huge prize offered for the first baby to be born on the anniversary of Christoper Columbus's landfall in the New World. Making a bid for this prize, Christopher's father Angel begets him on his mother Angeles exactly nine months before the anniversary. It is the foetus who then tells us what happens during these months, with a blend of astounded innocence and the deep genetic wisdom which becomes available to him in the womb.'
