Why read it?
1 author picked Three Messages and a Warning as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I wish publishers translated more fantastical fiction from around the world. This collection by Mexican authors offers a buffet of the weird, fabulist, and otherworldly.
The translated prose is masterful. Many stories draw the distant, decaying realm lying between life and death, directly and viscerally, into the homes and lives of the characters.
Anthologies can often suffer from an unevenness between authors, but this collection is consistently surprising and offers something for any reader of fabulist fiction.
From Kevin's list on fabulist fiction books where the real and unreal collide, leaving us questioning both.
