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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Veracruz (Veracruz-Llave, Mexico) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726740 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Hughes, Sophie $q (Sophie Elizabeth), $d 1986- $e translator. 830 0 $a New Directions paperbook ; $v 1558. 941 $a 5 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240402013536.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127012040.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240117013313.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240104012112.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230606011227.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7D6ADC2C042F11EE896B6DEA35ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
