520    "Horizontal Vertigo: the title refers to the fear of ever-
       impending earthquakes, which led Mexicans to build their 
       capital city outward rather than upward. With the 
       perspicacity of a keenly observant flaneur, Villoro 
       wanders through the city seemingly without a plan, 
       describing people, places, and things, while brilliantly 
       drawing connections among them, the better to reveal, in 
       all its multitudinous glory, the vicissitudes and triumphs
       of Mexico City's cultural, political, and social history: 
       from indigenous antiquity to the Aztec period, from the 
       Spanish conquest to Mexico City today, one of the world's 
       leading cultural and financial centers. In his deeply 
       iconoclastic book, Villoro organizes his text around a 
       recurring series of chapter titles: "Living in the City," 
       "City Characters," "Shocks, Crossings, and Ceremonies." 
       What he achieves, miraculously, is a stunning, 
       intriguingly coherent meditation on Mexico City's genius 
       loci, its spirit of place"--|cProvided by publisher.
