Squalor in Mexico is identical to squalor in El Salvador the ghastly Mexican town Papaloapan is too much like the horrible Costa Rican town Limon, 600 miles farther south.
For anyone experienced with Europe, it is desperately boring. Europe and Asia are a richer venue for this sort of thing than Latin America, which by contrast lacks character, deep literary and historical associations, and variety. If this sequel- it must be called that- is not so delightful as "The Great Railway Bazaar," the fault is as much geography's as Theroux's.
