An important, brave novel by a writer of extraordinary talent, magnificently translated by Sophie Hughes." - Alia Trabucco Zerán "Written with pain and enormous skill, in a rhythm at once tearing and hypnotic, Hurricane Season is an account of the wreckage of a forsaken Mexico governed by nightmarish jungle law.
In prose as precise and breathtaking as it is unsettling, Melchor has crafted an unprecedented novel about femicide in Mexico and how poverty and extreme power imbalances lead to violence everywhere." - Idra Novey, author of Those Who Knew She never flinches in the bold, precise strokes of Hurricane Season. "A dazzling novel and the English-language debut of one of Mexico's most exciting new voices." - The Guardian (UK) Melchor has deep reserves of talent and nerve." - Kirkus Reviews
"emarkable for the sheer force of its language.the narrative moves so fast the slurs and gross-outs feel less like attempts to shock and more like the infrastructure of a place built on rage and transgression.Messy yet engrossingly feverish. "Forceful, frenzied, violent, and uncompromising, Melchor's depiction of a town ogling its own destruction is a powder keg that ignites on the first page and sustains its intense, explosive heat until its final sentence." - Publishers Weekly
