"Originally published ... as Temporada de huracanes"--Title page verso.
"The Witch is dead. And the discovery of her corpse-by a group of children playing near the irrigation canals-propels the whole village into an investigation of how and why this murder occurred. Rumors and suspicions spread. As the novel unfolds in a dazzling linguistic torrent, with each unreliable narrator lingering details, new acts of depravity or brutality, Melchor extracts some tiny shred of humanity from these characters that most would write off as utterly irredeemable, forming a lasting portrait of a damned Mexican village. Like Roberto Bolaño's 2666 or Faulkner's greatest novels, Hurricane Season takes place in a world filled with mythology and violence-real violence, the kind that seeps into the soil, poisoning everything around: it's a world that becomes more terrifying and more terrifyingly real the deeper you explore it"-- Provided by publisher.

Difficult submitted by njd90 on June 21, 2022, 10:46am The characters in the small town of La Matosa are bewitched by the poverty, depression, homophobia, and masculine violence of the region and time. Formatted with no paragraphs, the book describes the characters who interact with the village witch. Many brutal scenes of violence and sexual assault. Written beautifully
