"When Froylan Gomez's car is found totaled by the riverbed after a hurricane, he is declared missing. Years later his wife finds piles of papers that belonged to Froylan and determines he is not dead, rather he has taken full advantage of the hurricane to run away with his lover. She then asks his friend, the author David Toscana, to sift through the papers and make sense of her husband's disappearance - the result is Tula Station.".

"The novel is three stories in one: the story of Juan Capistran, an orphan destined to live a quixotic life in search of adventure and heroism; the life of Froylan Gomez, a man who will forever be in love with the fantasy of a woman, and the almost-true story of the town of Tula, once prosperous but in a mountain location impossible for a train to ever reach, even with the construction of Tula Station.".

"Tula Station is a striking mix of old and new deploying the distinctive Mexican literary tradition of weaving actual places and historical events into a novel with fictional characters and multiple narrators."--BOOK JACKET.
