There's an article in today's New York Times on
the history and culture of
"lucha libre," or masked Mexican wrestling. It's inspired by
the new Jack Black comedy Nacho Libre.

The article refers to a "lucha noir" novel called Hoodtown,
by Christa Faust. It's set in a ghetto populated by masked
wrestlers. When neighborhood prostitutes are not only turning
up dead but unmasked, it's up to X, a middle-aged woman with
a long history in the ring, to investigate.
Just wondering: has anyone on the list read this? It sounds
wild.
