Tezcatlipoca's Dream by Henry Green

Tezcatlipoca's Dream by Henry Green

In search of his biological father, Henry finds himself in Guanajuato, Mexico, where he falls in love with two women, Jenny and Dina. Increasingly jealous of his new-best-friend Buck's friendship with Dina, Henry stands on the edge of an ancient abyss. The netherworld is calling him. Tezcatlipoca's Dream is a journey into the Lord of the Smoking Mirror's parallel realm, Henry Green brilliantly reinventing the Mexican novella in this immaculately drawn study of life, love, death, and resurrection.

Henry Green (1905-1973) was the pen name of Henry Vincent Yorke. Born near Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire, England, he was educated at Eton and Oxford and went on to become the managing director of his family's engineering business, writing novels in his spare time. His first novel, Blindness (1926), was written while he was at Oxford. He married in 1929 and had one son, and during the Second World War served in the Auxiliary Fire Service. Between 1926 and 1952 he wrote nine novels--Blindness, Living, Party Going, Caught, Loving, Back, Concluding, Nothing, and Doting--and a memoir, Pack My Bag.

Adam Thirlwell is the author of three novels, Politics, The Escape, and Lurid & Cute; a novella, Kapow!; an essay-book, The Delighted States, winner of a Somerset Maugham Award; and a compendium of translations edited for McSweeney's. He has twice been selected as one of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists, and was the recipient of the E.M. Forster Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2015.
