Cusco Bizarro: Muéstrame el Ombligo

When I picked up a copy of Bizarre Cusco: Show me the Navel, I had no idea what I was picking up. For one, this doesn’t look like your typical travel guide. The cover gave me the feeling I was picking up a book on the new wave of Cusco art.

Public Enemies is a movie about the image in front of the man that was John Dillenger.
