Synopsis :

The definitive book on Mexico City: a vibrant, seductive, and paradoxical metropolis-the second-biggest city in the world, and a vision of our urban future.

First Stop in the New World is a street-level panorama of Mexico City, the largest metropolis in the western hemisphere and the cultural capital of the Spanish-speaking world. Journalist David Lida expertly captures the kaleidoscopic nature of life in a city defined by pleasure and danger, ecstatic joy and appalling tragedy-hanging in limbo between the developed and underdeveloped worlds. With this literary-journalist account, he establishes himself as the ultimate chronicler of this bustling megalopolis at a key moment in its-and our-history.

À propos de l?auteur: David Lida has lived in Mexico City for more than fifteen years and works as a journalist in Spanish and English. In Mexico, he wrote and edited for DF, Mexico City's equivalent of The New Yorker. In the United States, his work has appeared in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Culture+Travel, The Forward, Interview, Gourmet, and others.
