Samanta Schweblin recommends

This is Not Miami (2023)
Fernanda Melchor
"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."

Home Reading Service (2021)
Fabio Morábito
"First, the tempting promise of an almost existential discovery, then bewilderment, subtle humor, and then everything in this story that seemed small and simple strikes back with extraordinary resonance. What a pleasure it always is to read Morabito."

A Luminous Republic (2020)
Andrés Barba
"At first this book will scare you, but after that you feel something much deeper, disturbing and luminous."
