SOLVED. Fiction, romance?: an author releases a book that flops everywhere except Mexico. He goes to Mexico for a book tour and it turns out that it's a hit in Mexico because the (female) translator made it so much better.

What Members Thought

I read this book over and over again when I was a kid. It introduced me to all the oddities of the world: UFOs, ghosts, strange disappearances, historical mysteries, monsters, ESP, etc. It served as a launching point for delving into each of these other topics more fully. I still have that copy, lovingly preserved.
