A Zero-Sum Game

"Outstanding political fantasy. Eduardo Rabasa has written a
futuristic novel set in the present; its inventiveness is not based on
new technologies but rather on new kinds of relationships." — Juan Villoro

A hilarious satire and universal exploration of the origins of power and corruption. A Zero-Sum Game uses
the highly-charged election for the presidency of a residents'
committee and the influence of a powerful stranger to both expose those
in power and to sympathize with individuals who find themselves caught
in the paradox of empowerment and impotence that is modern consumer
society and the democratic state.

Eduardo Rabasa is the founding
editorial director of Sexto Piso, Mexico's most prominent independent
publishing house, and was selected to the Hay Festival's México20 list
of the greatest Mexican authors under the age of forty.
