A young girl tells the story of her family's tragic demise using a deck of cards of the eponymous Latin American game of chance. "Loteria is constructed as a beautiful, gripping, and lyrical set of riddles (asked and solved) about love-and-death matters in one family. Like the novels of Cortázar, its form is intricate and beautiful." - Charles Baxter
