Description
This Is Not Miami by Fernanda Melchor is a collection of devastating stories that blend reportage and narrative non-fiction to probe into the motivations of murderers and misfits. Through her masterful storytelling, Melchor forces us to understand these characters despite our desire to disdain them as monsters.
Set in Veracruz, Mexico, these crónicas - a unique genre that blends elements of reportage, narrative non-fiction, and novelistic forms - reveal the violent and shocking aberrations that make headlines as only surface ruptures of a society on the brink of chaos. Brilliantly translated by Sophie Hughes, this book showcases Melchor's ability to shed light on the darker aspects of human nature.
