About the Author

Juan Pablo Villalobos is a Mexican author renowned for his sharp, satirical takes on contemporary society, blending dark humor with incisive social commentary. Born in Mexico City, he draws from his experiences in the literary and cultural landscapes of Latin America to craft narratives that expose the absurdities of power, family, and bureaucracy. His debut novel, Down the Rabbit Hole, catapulted him to international acclaim with its whimsical yet biting portrayal of a drug lord's son navigating a world of excess and isolation. In I'll Sell You a Dog, Villalobos explores the quirks of middle-class life and artistic pretensions through the eyes of a struggling writer. With a style that marries the grotesque and the everyday, his works have been translated into multiple languages, earning praise for their originality and wit.
