Cloth binding, 173 pp. As an activist in Mexico in the '60s, Paco Ignacio Taibo II began a search for figures in leftist history that his generation could look up to.

Returning as Shadows revisits these men nearly twenty years later. Le Monde calls Taibo "one of the best narrative clowns of our time". New in new dustjacket..
