Cristina Bendek's Salt Crystals is fiction but reads like a memoir/travel book. Victoria returns to her parents' home in San Andrés, a Colombian island in the Caribbean. She rediscovers the island and her family's past. @CristinaBendek @CharcoPress

Published in the UK today (and US 3rd Nov) I’m Still Here is the evocative and endlessly compassionate story of how a family went from sun-soaked innocence to a deep and abiding commitment to justice — for democracy, the marginalized, and the truth itself.

"With her characteristic edge-of-the-seat storytelling, Piñeiro exposes not only the monsters we live among, but also the society that produces them."

OF CATTLE AND MEN: “In Perry’s translation, Maia reads like Cormac McCarthy with the labor consciousness of George Orwell.”

Just read #BuryYourDead by Ana Paula Maia.
Unlike anything else I've read, yet it also reads like a classic that sits in the realms of McCarthy and Faulkner. Follow Edgar Wilson as he picks up dead animals off the roads. He is completely numbed to the accumulation of bodies piling up around him. He can't escape death, yet is also at peace with it. Equally horrifying as it is lyrical and beautiful. Maia takes the vastness of the world and makes it claustrophobic: overwhelming yet comforting. Maia has done it again. A masterpiece.

I have just read #Cathedrals by Claudia Piñeiro.
An absolutely riveting, brilliantly written and fiercely intelligent novel that uses philosophy, sociology, and criminology to get to the core of how a murder changes the lives of everyone in the vicinity. An examination of love, loss and belonging at its core. Equally thrilling as it is utterly devastating. This is one not to miss!

New at PB: In a new review of “Cautery” by Lucía Lijtmaer (tr. Maureen Shaughnessy, @charcopress) and “Berlin Atomized” by Julia Kornberg (tr. Jack Rockwell, @astrahousebooks), Sam Carter asks, “How far can speculative comparisons scale?”
