The Story Of My Teeth by Valeria Luiselli

"The Story of My Teeth" is a unique and imaginative novel centered around Gustavo Sánchez Sánchez, also known as Highway, a world-traveling auctioneer with a penchant for storytelling and a set of teeth he claims once belonged to Marilyn Monroe. Set in Mexico City, the narrative unfolds through a series of bizarre and humorous episodes, where Highway auctions off not just objects, but stories about them, enhancing their value through his inventive tales. The novel explores themes of identity, value, and the power of narrative, blending elements of philosophy, dental history, and literary theory, all while questioning the nature of truth and the art of storytelling.
