A speaker recommends a book written by someone else.

“Pedro Palermo, for me, or even Savage Detectives. I know Bolaños from Chile, but to me it's a Mexican novel.”

Why: It is praised as an insider's novel of Mexico with spot-on mockery of UNAM and deep connection to the history of the one-party state.
