520    Long before he was the taco seller whose 'Gringo Dog' 
       recipe made him famous throughout Mexico City, our hero 
       was an aspiring artist: an artist, that is, till his would
       -be girlfriend was stolen by Diego Rivera, and his dreams 
       snuffed out by his hypochondriac mother. Now our hero is 
       resident in a retirement home, where fending off boredom 
       is far more grueling than making tacos. Plagued by the 
       literary salon that bumps about his building's lobby and 
       haunted by the self-pitying ghost of a neglected artist, 
       Villalobos's old man can't help but misbehave: he 
       antagonises his neighbors, tortures American missionaries 
       with passages from Adorno, and flirts with the 
       revolutionary greengrocer.
