Perdita Durango
Synopsis:
In Perdita Durango, Gifford brings us the uniquely villainous Perdita, born as a minor character in Wild at Heart and reincarnated here as the killer-lovely queen in a rogue’s gallery of gangsters and bad girls. Perdita is the high priestess of bad behavior. Teamed up with the handsome, deranged bordertown dealer and santero Romero Dolorosa, they wreak havoc across Texas, Louisiana, Mexico, and Los Angeles, posing as devout believers while conducting extremely unholy rituals and kidnapping college kids just for the fun of it, taking them—and us—on “a dark and comic ride through a fantasy America that rings desperately true,” (The New York Times).
