This anthology features thirty-four all-original Mexican science fiction and fantasy stories, many from authors whose work has never been published in English.  Ghost stories, supernatural folktales, alien incursions, and apocalyptic narratives are collected here, as well as chronicles of highly unusual mental states in which the borders of fantasy and reality reach unprecedented levels of ambiguity.  Stereotypes of Mexican identity are explored and transcended by the thoroughly cosmopolitan consciousness underlying these works.  A radical combination of emerging and established Mexican authors of original tales of the fantastic, offering some excellent and ghastly surprises.

Impossible objects are those about which the philosopher can hardly speak: poetry, film, music humor.  Such "objects" do not rely on philosophy for interpretation and understanding; they are already independent practices and sites of sensuous meaning production.  As Elvis Costello has said, "writing about music is like dancing about architecture."  We don't need literary theory in order to be riveted by the poem, nor a critic's analysis to enjoy a film.  How then can philosophy speak about anything outside of itself, namely all  of those things that actually matter to us in this world? 
In a series of engaging and enlightening conversations, Simon Critchley, one of the most influential and insightful philosophers writing today, reflects on his early work on the ethics of deconstruction, the recurring themes of mortality and nihilism, his defense of neo-anarchism and his recent investigation into secular faith, or a "faith of the faithless."  This essential book explores the relationship between the philosophical world and those complex and fascinating "impossible objects" which give life meaning.
