This dark, sprawling novel is the English language debut of Emiliano Monge, a Mexican writer who is often compared to the US literary superstar Cormac McCarthy.
Written in a tone that evokes McCarthy's unrelenting classic Blood Meridian , the novel tells the story of Germ n Alc ntara Carnero, a dangerous campesino fighting to survive in rural 20th century Mexico, and also a metaphor for the spiraling violence of contemporary Mexican society.
--Culture Trip Set on a desolate.
