Book On the Way from Former LA Times, LA Weekly Journo Daniel Hernandez

Back in September of 2007, Daniel Hernandez left his post as a staff writer for the LA Weekly to work on a book about emerging youth subcultures in Mexico City. After more than three years of living and working in Mexico City’s Distrito Federal, the fruits of his labor have almost arrived. Hernandez just announced the impending launch of his book “Down and Delirious in Mexico City: The Aztec Metropolis in the 21st Century.” Published by Scribner, the book will hit stores on February 8th.

Writes Hernandez on his blog:

I’m calling it a collection of first-person reported essays charting my experiences among mostly young people in Mexico City, one of the very few largest of megacities in the world and in history.
