This is Not Miami - Fernanda Melchor & Sophie Hughes

Release Date: 2023-04-04

Genre: Fiction & Literature

Read Download
A searing collection of true stories from “one of Mexico’s most exciting new voices” (The Guardian)

LONGLISTED FOR THE 2024 NATIONAL TRANSLATION AWARD IN PROSE

Set in and around the Mexican city of Veracruz, This Is Not Miami delivers a series of devastating stories—spiraling from real events—that bleed together reportage and the author’s rich and rigorous imagination. These narrative nonfiction pieces 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 simply label them monsters. As in her hugely acclaimed novels Hurricane Season and Paradais, 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.
