Kurz und gut: Ein präziser literarischer Faustschlag, genau dahin, wo es weh tut. Lesen, unbedingt!

After buying it in Spring, I finally started reading this. It’s brutal and brilliant. #bookstodon #books #fernandamelchor #hurricaneseason
Recovering from reading this. Compelling but almost unbearably squalid. A latin noir crime story told from multiple perspectives. I vacillated between compassion and revolt in equal measure but couldn't help admire the author's structural achievement and single minded portrayal of the lower depths of a small Mexican village. #Remarkable #FernandaMelchor #HurricaneSeason @bookstodon
I'm really excited to see @KellyLink and
