Mexican Hooker No.1 - And Other Roles Since the Revolution

About the author

Carmen Aguirre was taken, aged 11, from her comfortable Canadian exile, by her mother, to Chile, then Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, spending the next 6 years in the safe houses her mother and stepfather ran. At 18, she joined a guerrilla organization in Pinochet's Chile. Today she again lives in Canada, where she is a celebrated playwright and actress - she was in Quinceanera, a Sundance winner. Her first book, Something Fierce, was published by Portobello Books in 2012. Its follow-up, Mexican Hooker #1, will be published in April 2016.

Summary

A brilliant, funny and uncompromising book that answers the pressing question: once you've spent your formative years battling a dictatorship, what do you do next?
