Carmen Boullosa is one of Mexico's most acclaimed young writers, and Leaving Tabasco tells of the coming-of-age of Delmira Ulloa, raised in an all-female home in Agustini, in the Mexican province of Tabasco. The Washington Post Book World wrote, We happily share with [Delmira] her life, including the infinitely charming town she inhabits [and] her grandmother's fantastic imagination." In Agustini it is not unusual to see your grandmother float above the bed when she sleeps, or topurchase torrential rains at a traveling fair, or to watch your family's elderly serving woman develop stigmata, then disappear completely, to be canonized as a local saint. As Delmira becomes a woman she will search for her missing father, and will make a choice that will force her to leave home forever. Brimming with the spirit of its irrepressible heroine, Leaving Tabasco is a story of great charm and depth that will remain in its readers' hearts for a long time. "Carmen Boullosa immersesus once again in her wickedly funny and imaginative world." - Dolores Prida, Latina "To flee Agustini is to leave not just a town but the viscerally primal dreamscape it represents." - Sandra Tsing Loh, The New York Times Book Review "A vibrant coming-of-age tale Boullosa [is] a master . Each chapter is an adventure." - Monica L. Williams, The Boston Globe " | Leaving Tabasco by Carmen Boullosa, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
