A darkly comedic tale blending magical realism and satire, set in a surreal Latin American jungle.
Welcome to Buenos Cruces, a mystical town hidden within a lush, enchanted forest at the heart of Latin America—and the latest production site for Cantilever Inc., a sprawling multinational corporation that manufactures everything from sandals to cigarettes. However, as the Dulk family settles into their new life in this otherworldly jungle, Cantilever’s Vice President, John C. Dulk, is conspicuously missing, leaving his wife, Julie, to grapple with the pressures of keeping both their family and the factory afloat in a place where reality bends and the absurd becomes routine.
A bold and wildly theatrical take on magical realism, The Irrepressible Magic of the Tropics is a fast-paced, farcical journey through Latin American history and literature.
