Slackers meets Savage Detectives in this polyphonic ode to the pleasures of not measuring up.
Rodrigo likes his vacant lot, its resident chicken, and being left alone. But when passivity finds him accidentally married to Cecilia, he trades Mexico City for the sun-bleached desolation of his hometown and domestic life with Cecilia for the debauched company of a poet, a philosopher, and Micaela, whose allure includes the promise of time travel. Earthy, playful, and sly,Among Strange Victimsis a psychedelic ode to the pleasures of not measuring up.
