Award-winning, internationally acclaimed writer Guillermo Arriaga weaves a luminous, insightful story of love and friendship, passion and betrayal, lunacy and mental illness. Set in Mexico City, The Night Buffalo revolves around the mysterious suicide of Gregorio, a charismatic but troubled young man who was betrayed by the two people he trusted most.

-- Mayra Montero, author of Captain of the Sleepers and The Last Night I Spent with You

-- Victor Rivas Rivers, actor, author of A Private Family Matter
