  abstract: In "The War of the Fatties," a campy, tongue-in-cheek retelling of an episode from the Mexican "Trojan War," naked fat women from Tlatelolco discombobulate Tenochtitlan's invading army by squirting them with breast milk.
  abstract: Told with satiric allusions to the policies and tactics used by Mexico's current ruling party, PRI, to consolidate its power, the play unfolds a history of vain rivalry and decadence, intricate political maneuvers, corruption, and unchecked ambition that determined the course of Mexican history for two centuries before the Spanish conquest.
  abstract: Novo's other works in this collection - "A Few Aspects of Sex among the Nahuas," "Ahuitozotl and the Magic Water," "Cuauhtemoc: Play in One Act," "Cuauhtemoc and Eulalia: A Dialogue," "Malinche and Carlota: A Dialogue," and "In Ticitezcatl or The Enchanted Mirror: Opera in Two Acts"--Represent nearly all of his Aztec-related writings. Taken together, they provide a delightful introduction to Novo's later works and a lighthearted, historically accurate introduction to Aztec culture.
  abstract: Often unjustly overlooked, these works have never been available in English. The text is supplemented by a glossary of Nahuatl terms, notes on the historical characters, and an introduction that provides historical background and places Novo's works within their cultural context.
