Summary
A New York Times Notable Book （2020）
A Guardian and Boston。com Best Book of 2020
A Literary Hub Favorite Book of 2020
The Witch is dead。 And the discovery of her corpse - by a group of children playing near the irrigation canals - propels the whole village into an investigation of how and why this murder occurred。 Rumours and suspicions spread。 As the novel unfolds in a dazzling linguistic torrent， with each unreliable narrator lingering on new details， new acts of depravity or brutality， Fernanda Melchor extracts some tiny shred of humanity from these characters that most would write off as utterly irredeemable， forming a lasting portrait of a damned Mexican village。 Through the stories of Luismi， Norma， Brando and Munra， Fernanda Melchor paints a portrait of lives governed by poverty and violence， machismo and misogyny， superstition and prejudice。 Like Roberto Bolano's 2666 or William Faulkner's greatest novels， HURRICANE SEASON takes place in a world filled with mythology and violence - real violence， the kind that seeps into the soil， poisoning everything around。 Written with a brutal lyricism that is as affecting as it is enthralling， HURRICANE SEASON， Fernanda Melchor's first novel to appear in English， is a formidable portrait of contemporary Mexico and its demons， brilliantly translated by the award-winning translator Sophie Hughes。

Not to get too deep into a textual analysis， but the lack of any hurricanes in this book strongly suggests we’re dealing with a metaphor in the title here。

Phwoar。 Fernanda Melchor pulls no punches。 The mystery thriller plot （served with a big helping of tragedy） is enthralling in and of itself， but the delivery is unbelievable。 Fernanda weaves a serpentine narrative around the violent murder at the story’s epicentre， diffracting a linear tale through a cacophony of conflicting smalltown voices。 Propulsive， high octane and devastating。 Still catching my breath。

2。5 stars。This book was intense！ It was coarse， vulgar and raw; it dealt with heavy topics and some parts towards the latter was hard to read through （specially regarding homophobia， racism， abuse， and pedophilia）。 The writing style: long prose， was exhausting in the first two parts where one sentence would drag on for around 30 pages， I barely got through two pages at a time， however the prose was powerful。 There were some repetitive content which was a bit boring。Overall， this is heavy stuff s 2。5 stars。This book was intense！ It was coarse， vulgar and raw; it dealt with heavy topics and some parts towards the latter was hard to read through （specially regarding homophobia， racism， abuse， and pedophilia）。 The writing style: long prose， was exhausting in the first two parts where one sentence would drag on for around 30 pages， I barely got through two pages at a time， however the prose was powerful。 There were some repetitive content which was a bit boring。Overall， this is heavy stuff so be careful before reading！ 。。。more

I sadly didn't have time to finish this book， but I don't exactly want to pick it up and start reading it again。 I really just didn't like the style of writing， how the sentence almost never seemed to end。 It kind of bothered me， and I just couldn't focus clearly on it。 But， I bet the story was really good。 Like I said， I didn't get to really finish this book。 I sadly didn't have time to finish this book， but I don't exactly want to pick it up and start reading it again。 I really just didn't like the style of writing， how the sentence almost never seemed to end。 It kind of bothered me， and I just couldn't focus clearly on it。 But， I bet the story was really good。 Like I said， I didn't get to really finish this book。 。。。more

Gran hallazgo la peculiar voz de Fernanda Melchor。 Una historia que no se puede soltar。 Cinematográfica， morbosa， directa y， por momentos， demasiado real。

I'm not going to lie， this was really tough to read。 It's got rave reviews， and while I wouldn't go quite that far， I did get into it eventually。 Synopsis: A local woman called "the Witch" is found dead in a river。 A series of different perspectives reveal what led up to her death and what happened。 WIth the exception of the first chapter and the two last chapters， each chapter is basically one long run-on sentence。 There are no paragraphs， and each chapter is about 50 pages， so it's tough to ge I'm not going to lie， this was really tough to read。 It's got rave reviews， and while I wouldn't go quite that far， I did get into it eventually。 Synopsis: A local woman called "the Witch" is found dead in a river。 A series of different perspectives reveal what led up to her death and what happened。 WIth the exception of the first chapter and the two last chapters， each chapter is basically one long run-on sentence。 There are no paragraphs， and each chapter is about 50 pages， so it's tough to get through， just by how it's written。 It's also tough to read because it is really dark。 Each of the characters who provide a perspective have secrets， and almost all of them are really horrible people。 Over the course of this stream-of-consciousness you dig really deep into each character， and the motivations that lead them， what's happened in their backgrounds， and how they each encounter the Witch。 I did enjoy that aspect， but it took time and focus to get to that point。 Honestly， I would not recommend this book for everyone。 It reminded me of the Faulkner that I read in high school， and A Brief History of Seven Killings， so if that's your style， you'd probably really like this。 。。。more

Simplemente apasionante。 Que sutilesa tiene para escribir Fernanda。 Quedé fascinado de su manera de relatar historias。 Además me encanta la forma de transformar la narrativa de un personaje a otro sin salirse del contexto de la historia。 Un libro que debes de leer en español por su lenguaje tan crudo y regional。

Una novela sucia， que se siente， se huele y se vive。 Al principio， era exceptico con el estilo en el que estaba escrito， en el que lo más común es no encontrarse dos puntos en una misma cara， pero no ha tardado en atraparme con cada una de las voces que componen ésta obra。

It's impossible to say that I like this book。 "Like" is not sure word I'd use to describe my feelings towards "Hurricane Season"。 I could say that I had to stop reading it because it made me feel physically ill， that some passages of this novel were so traumatising that I had to skin through them。 I could say that reading this book was such a source of perturbation that I came really to close to admit defeat and stop。 I did not。 First a foremost because Fernanda Melchor writes with such rage， an It's impossible to say that I like this book。 "Like" is not sure word I'd use to describe my feelings towards "Hurricane Season"。 I could say that I had to stop reading it because it made me feel physically ill， that some passages of this novel were so traumatising that I had to skin through them。 I could say that reading this book was such a source of perturbation that I came really to close to admit defeat and stop。 I did not。 First a foremost because Fernanda Melchor writes with such rage， and hers is a prose that people like me would do everything to barely get close to， and reading her words， although painful and traumatic at times， feels like a privilege。 Sophie Hughes is such a great translator， I'll never stop praising her for her work， especially in this novel， especially with a prose so rich and so charged that anybody else would probably give up， but Hughes made it resonate with the same angry disillusionment and powerful realism that transpire from the original， and that's a huge task to complete。 Secondly， this book needs to be read and taken in， because there's not much imagination going on。 It feels like chronicle， it feels like， with the due process of creativity and literature， we're reading about real people， real stories， real pain， and although these characters are somehow impossible to cheer for， they definitely are built with such ability and craft that it's impossible not to empathise a little for them。 Because the never ending circle of abuse， violence， poverty， neglect and trauma that they go through would destroy anyone， and in spite of that they are still able to preserve some humanity， some light， some little things here and there， signs of life。 Even though life seems to be designed to crush them and destroy them， there are still blinks of what these characters could have been， even for a second。 It is extremely hard to read this book。 But one must。 。。。more

Una novela durísima llena de abandono， violencia y pobreza。 Un retrato de los olvidados y de los que ya están condenados desde su nacimiento。 El ritmo que le imprime Fernanda Melchor es agónico， sin dejar respirar ni tomar una brizna de aire al lector， y es lo que hace que sea tan complicado entrar en el relato como luego salir。 Una maravilla angustiosa。
