Tristessa Publisher / Skira Editore Not just a feast for90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books Tristessa is a strange fever dream of morphine sickness and belly deep sadness. Or, in the words of Allen Ginsberg: a narrative meditation studying a hen, a rooster, a dove, a cat, a chihuahua dog, family meat, and a ravishing, ravished junky lady, first in their crowded bedroom, then out to drunken streets, taco stands, and pads at dawn in Mexico City slums.
