Written in a chilling torrent of prose by one of our most thrilling new writers, Paradais explores the explosive fragility of Mexican society – fractured by issues of race, class and violence – and how the myths, desires, and hardships of teenagers can tear life apart at the seams.
Born in Veracruz, Mexico, in 1982, Fernanda Melchor is ‚one of Mexico’s most exciting new voices‘ (Guardian). Her novel Hurricane Season was shortlisted for the International Booker Prize, longlisted for the National Book Award, and as a New York Times Notable Book.
