<p>In the ’80s, when author/photographer Kurt Hollander lived in
New York and published <em>The Portable Lower East</em>, life
there was particularly rough, and cops often drove yellow cabs
as a method to surprise and roust its residents. Before the
decade ended, Hollander moved to the equally rough climes of
Mexico City, making his living writing and photographing for <em>The
Guardian</em>, <em>The New York Times</em>, <em>Los Angeles
Times</em>, and many other publications.</p>
<p>Hollander’s visual and textual extravaganza, <em>Several Ways
to Die in </em><em>Mexico City</em>, provides a perspective of
this extraordinary city that could only have been caught by an
observant outsider who lived in all its nooks and crannies for
over two decades.</p>
<p>Crammed with caustic but fair observations of the city’s
history, food, cults, drugs, and buildings, Hollander proves
that he can love a city and culture that also kills its
inhabitants softly. The book contains dozens of extraordinary
photographs.</p>
<p>While living high in Mexico City, <strong>Kurt Hollander</strong>
edited <em>poliester</em>, the renowned bilingual art magazine
about the Americas. He also directed the feature film <em>Carambola</em>
and wrote a successful series of children’s books. Grove Press
published the <em>Portable Lower East Side </em>anthology in
1994.</p>
<p><em>“An amazing book that takes the reader on a wild, woolly,
and consistently witty death trip, covering everything from
Mexico’s rich history of human sacrifice to the dangers of
eating, drinking and breathing in its capital.”<br>
<strong>— </strong></em><strong>Harold Schechter, author of <em>
The Whole Death Catalog</em></strong></p>
<p>“. . . thank Kurt Hollander for leading us through a city in
which many would not have the heart, lungs, stomach, or street
smarts to survive.”<br>
<strong> <em><strong>— New York Journal of Books</strong></em></strong></p>
<p>“Several Ways to Die in Mexico City stumbled into my lap and
changed the way I think about what I eat and drink.”<br>
