Tarantula Woman PDF

Published on 2011-01-23 by Open Books
Located across the U.S.-Mexican border in Ciudad Juarez, Mariscal Street (otherwise known as the Boulevard of Broken Dreams) harbors Donald O |Donovan |s quintessential character, Jerzy Mulvaney, as he unsuccessfully courts the Tarantula Woman รข€ a prostitute named Ysela with a tattoo of a tarantula on her left shoulder blade. She is just one of many women in one man |s unapologetic and aimless existence in Mexico where each day brings another round of whorehouses, drunken stupors, odd jobs, eruptions of violence and encounters with equally directionless individuals.Not since Charles Bukowski |s Factotum has a transgressive autobiographical novel touched upon with such rawness the everyday realities of a modern-day American desperado. Yet somewhere in the midst of all the strident nihilism, O |Donovan |s alter ego, Jerzy Mulvaney, manages to stumble upon an ambition of sorts: to become a real Mexican. SI wanted to destroy whatever remained of my identity, my American identity; to melt down into a primal being, because the greatest thing is to be unknown, anonymous, and truly free. Rather than a work of fiction, Tarantula Woman is a refreshingly honest document that subtly addresses such essential subjects as life, love, death and the challenge of simply being.
