Paradais by Fernanda Melchor (HC)
REVIEWS
"A masterpiece of concision ... Paradais is a labyrinthine monologue on the banal violence of a modern-day teenager."- Virginie Despentes, author
"Fernanda Melchor explores violence and inequity in this brutal novel. She does it with dazzling technical prowess, a perfect pitch for orality, and a neurosurgeon's precision for cruelty. Paradais is a short inexorable descent into Hell." - Mariana Enríquez, author
"Fernanda Melchor has a powerful voice, and by powerful I mean unsparing, devastating, the voice of someone who writes with rage, and has the skill to pull it off."- Samanta Schweblin, author
"Melchor evokes the stories of Flannery O'Connor, or, more recently, Marlon James's A Brief History of Seven Killings. Impressive."- Julian Lucas, New York Times
