This bilingual flip book contains two novellas: {Flores} (2002), (awarded the Xavier Villaurrutia Award; see {HLAS 62:2491}) and {Biografi a ilustrada de Mishima} (2009), concluding with 50 photographs "illustrating" Mishima's life. The first work, composed of 36 fragments with flower-name titles, is posited as "the sum of certain objects that together form a whole" (p. 8): a narration about loosely related people affected by Thalidomide, a drug prescribed to pregnant women in the 1960s and 1970s resulting in birth defects, the cause of the author's missing forearm. The second imagines the (after)life of Japanese writer Yukio Mishima (1925-70) who, after committing ritual suicide, continues his literary existence headless: a biography that coincides with the obsessions, themes, and titles of Bellatin's own works. Published together, the novellas highlight Bellatin's recurring themes - "erasures and displacements and replacements" - revealing a "rhizomatic and nonlinear" fictional universe "defined by the strange and unexpected interconnections between his own life and his various stories, and even those of other writers" (Jeffrey Zuckerman, "I Sing the Body Prosthetic: On Mario Bellatin's {Mishima's Illustrated Biography}," LARB, 23 March 2014).
