Book description
Translated by Sophie HughesSet in and around the city of Veracruz in Mexico, This Is Not Miami delivers a series of devastating stories - spiralling from real events - that bleed together reportage and the author's rich and rigorous imagination. These crónicas - 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 Hurricane Season and Paradais, 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.'Fernanda Melchor has a powerful voice, and by powerful I mean unsparing, devastating, the voice of someone who writes with rage and has the skill to pull it off.'- Samanta Schweblin, author of Fever Dream'Time spent with her writing leaves no doubt: the unholy noise she creates is the work of someone who knows exactly which notes to hit.'- Chris Power, Guardian'Melchor evokes the stories of Flannery O'Connor, or, more recently, Marlon James's A Brief History of Seven Killings. Impressive.'- Julian Lucas, New York Times'She isn't holding a Stendhalian mirror up to Mexican society; she's dissecting its body and its psyche at the same time, unafraid of what she might find. ... In Melchor's world, there's no resisting the violence, much less hating it. All a novelist can do, she seems to suggest, is take a long, unsparing look at the hell that we've made.'- Juan Gabriel Vázquez, New Yorker'Skillfully translated by Hughes, this is a book that's as gorgeous as it is dark, and it proves that Melchor is one of the finest writers working today. Absolutely stunning.'-Kirkus starred review
