About The Mexican Year
The Mexican Year is blog fiction about a chance encounter in Tijuana.
Nick is a jaded UCLA graduate student committed to his doctoral research in Latin American Studies and not much else.
Nooshin is a lazy-eyed kebab of a girl boxed in by her traditional Iranian husband, controlling in-laws and family, and poor choices.
They cross paths when they cross the border, two strangers who find themselves journeying into Tijuana and across Mexico, sometimes together, sometimes apart.
Nooshin blogs one day, Nick the next, until there are 365 posts in all.
