ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This Comala-worthy setting is a tribute to the work of Juan Rulfo, a novel that reimagines in a Quixotic vein the myth that Pedro P ramo becomes, all bearing the unmistakable stamp of lmer Mendoza, one of the most important voices in the literature of his generation. Make Him Pay Dearly is a book that speaks to us about the importance of literature, migration, memory, home, the living, and the dead.

Nick owns three successful restaurants in Chicago. He enjoys a comfortable life, but has only a few distant memories, until one night his parents appear to him in a ghostly vision and urge him to return to the land his ancestors once inhabited. That is how Nick and Lily, his wife, set out on a journey to Mexico: he is on a mission from his parents, fully intent on finding the stones into which Pedro P ramo was transformed; she worries about the mental state this ghostly journey causes in her husband.
