A winding, shaggy-dog book about American hippies and archaeologists looking for a special something in Mexico in the style of Erich von Däniken of Chariots of The Gods fame. It’s a loose book full of lively characters that gather with befuddling speed, and it doesn’t quite flow or add up into something super cohesive. But Portis is always a good writer from graf to graf, so it’s a fun little read.
