I just bought this at a library sale. It looks like one of the greatest books ever published. There is a picture of a masked luchador (Fray Tormenta, if you must know) saying Mass right smack in the center of this book, opposite another luchador with a naked woman in a cape. There is probably no way to do it justice. Look closely at the cover-- that vicious dog is clearly plastic. Holy shit.
A delightful photodocumentary on the real luchadores of Mexico. Although not officially connected, this book provides an in-depth insight to the inspiration behind the movie, Nacho Libre. Over 300 pages of visually stunning photographs that capture the heart and challenges us to reexamine the meaning of humanity.
Really great book filled with wonderful pictures and insightful commentary
