PARADAIS by the incredible Fernanda Melchor translated by Sophie Hughes is out TODAY! “While her writing turns an unsparing eye on the dysfunction and violence of her native Veracruz, Melchor makes clear that it is neither her job nor her intention to explain her homeland. Her novels are less portraits of Mexico than they are literary MRIs, probing unseen corners of the human heart and finding that many of its darker shades are universal.”—Benjamin P.
