Beschreibung

<p>Set in and around the city of Veracruz in Mexico, <em>This Is Not Miami</em> delivers a series of devastating stories - spiralling from real events - that bleed together reportage and the author's rich and rigorous imagination. These <em>crónicas</em> - a genre unique to Latin American writing that blends reportage, narrative non-fiction and novelistic forms - probe deeply into the motivations of murderers and misfits, into their desires and circumstances, forcing us to understand them - and even empathize - despite our wish to disdain them as monsters. As in her hugely acclaimed novels <em>Hurricane Season </em>and <em>Paradais</em>, and once again brilliantly translated by Sophie Hughes, Fernanda Melchor's masterful stories show how the violent and shocking aberrations that make the headlines are only the surface ruptures of a society on the brink of chaos.</p>
