Rodez to Mexico

Author Julien Villa
COLLECTION Fiction
Thomas Bout, Director "Our new fiction line's first novel and Julien Villa's debut. Sensitively describes the daily lives of the overlooked, calling for a revolution both joyous and necessary."

Disillusioned thirtysomething Marco Jublovski lives in a house on the industrial outskirts of Grand Rodez. One morning after a party in Larzac, Marco finds out about Subcommandante Marcos and the Zapatistas. His life is turned upside down. He feels like he's met his twin. Overnight, he becomes obsessed with the revolution in Mexico.
By odd coincidence, the powers that be start seizing property Grand Rodez, claiming eminent domain for the area's economic growth. Inspired by the struggle of farmers in Chiapas and such legendary Mexican figures as Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa, Marco vows to resist.
