Hurricane Season
Fernanda Melchor
Synopsis "Hurricane Season"
The Witch is dead. And the discovery of her corpse has the whole village investigating the murder. As the novel unfolds in a dazzling linguistic torrent, with each unreliable narrator lingering on new details, new acts of depravity or brutality, Melchor extracts some tiny shred of humanity from these characters--inners whom most people would write off as irredeemable--forming a lasting portrait of a damned Mexican village. Like Roberto Bolano's 2666 or Faulkner's novels, Hurricane Season takes place in a world saturated with mythology and violence--real violence, the kind that seeps into the soil, poisoning everything around: it's a world that becomes more and more terrifying the deeper you explore it.
Fernanda Melchor nació en el puerto de Veracruz, en México.

Todos ellos publicados por Random House. Su trabajo ha merecido diversos reconocimientos nacionales e internacionales, como el Premio Anna Seghers 2019, el Premio Internacional de Literatura de Alemania y el Premio PEN a la Excelencia Literaria 2018.
