Bon vivant, world traveller, auctioneer - the story of Highway and his teeth are like Johnny Cash meets Robert Walser in Mexico. "Come for the absurdist comedy, stay for the references to great writers and philosophers and see how in on the joke you really are" (Vulture).

"A lively, loopy experimental novel rich with musings on language, art, and, yes, teeth... A clever philosophical novel that, as the author puts it, has 'less to do with lying than surpassing the truth' "  -  Kirkus Reviews

I was born in Pachuca, the Beautiful Windy City, with four premature teeth and my body completely covered in a very fine coat of fuzz. But I'm grateful for that inauspicious start because ugliness, as my other uncle, Eurípides López Sánchez, was given to saying, is character forming. Highway is a late-in-life world traveller, yarn spinner, collector, and legendary auctioneer. His most precious possessions are the teeth of the "notorious infamous" like Plato, Petrarch, and Virginia Woolf. 

“Luiselli follows in the imaginative tradition of writers like Borges and Márquez, but her style and concerns are unmistakably her own. This deeply playful novel is about the passion and obsession of collecting, the nature of storytelling, the value of objects, and the complicated bonds of family... Luiselli has become a writer to watch, in part because it’s truly hard to know (but exciting to wonder about) where she will go next.”  -  The New York Times 

Written in collaboration with the workers at a Jumex juice factory, The Story Of My Teeth is an elegant, witty, exhilarating romp through the industrial suburbs of Mexico City and Valeria Luiselli's own literary influences.

Valeria Luiselli was born in Mexico City in 1983 and grew up in South Africa. Her work has been translated into many languages and has appeared in publications including the New York Times, Granta, and McSweeney's.
