Mexico, the Devil's masterpiece
(México, la obra maestra del diablo)
2023
Lustful, excessive and masochistic: such is the passionate country that makes drama its national symbol; and spicy food, its penance. The nation that delights in beers prepared with as many ingredients as mole, but believes that eating a slice of watermelon at night can kill you.
Mexico, the Devil’s Masterpiece is the latest release from acclaimed illustrator Alberto Montt. A book through which, with his characteristic style and humor, Montt presents us
with a hilarious exploration of everything that makes Mexico and its people unique.
Critics
“Montt mixes apples and oranges and doesn’t ask us to choose one of them. His books are the unusual space where opposites work together. There, the penguin and the polar bear, coming from opposite polesof the planet, find out how exciting it is to share the same bed”
—Juan VilloRo
“Really, a genius.”
—Manu Arregui Biziola
