It's a kind of political murder mystery. (Though political murders in Mexico are seldom very mysterious and everybody Mundo talks to confesses to killing the Mayor)

It's a kind of romance, unrequited love achieved... but then what?

It's kind of humorous (and not the nasty humor you probably expect :-)

It's kind of a travelogue... Mazatlan carnival and Mexican journalism.

Kind of a baseball book... we don't actually see a game played, but sports has molded these characters for life and the topic is always right there.

It's even got a thematic image, hey. There's a point when the velocity of the ball is cancelled out by the stroke of the bat. A point when there is not motion at all... then things go back the other way. Mundo Carrasco's life was defined by that timeless moment of a famous hit. Now he's acheived everything he didn't dare dream of... and the second it's his, it starts to move away.

It's a book chicks like as much as guys... Mundo is quite a guy.

What can I say? Buy a dozen.

Today I experimented with Windows Movie Maker to create a book trailer. Was successful in placing photos and text, but I can NOT get audio to download. My source is iTunes. Can you give me some advice?
